Ohtani's home run this season is 'Zero', and only 7 out of 44 home runs last year. Why?

Usually, home run hitters aim for home runs regardless of the number of runners. The swing form is consistent. It's okay to be struck out a lot. Just hit a home run and you'll be forgiven.

Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers) is recognized as a home run hitter.

However, Ohtani seems to hit differently depending on where the runner is, unlike other home run hitters.

Japanese media outlet Full Count pointed out Ohtani's scoring home run on the 23rd. It means that Ohtani has not had a single scoring home run this season. Only seven out of 44 home runs were scoring home runs in the Angels last season.

Ohtani suffered from poor batting average in scoring capacity early this season. He had 0.184 (7 hits in 38 times at bat) through April. His batting average in scoring capacity improved to 0.462 (6 hits in 13 times at bat) in May.

The full count said, "The problem is a run-scoring home run."

Ohtani drew 13 arches this season, with eight solo shots and five two-run shots. All of them came when the runner was at first base.

Why is that?

The full count analyzed that the reason why there are no home runs in the scoring area yet is because there are many at-bats where Ohtani himself is not aiming for a home run. Rather than the probability of making an RBI with a home run, he calls home runners with a timely hit.토토사이트

In addition, not hitting while being conscious of home runs is also affecting.

According to the full count, Ohtani said when he beat Hideki Matsui's 175th homerun overall in the Major League, "There is no batter's box specifically for homers." He means that he hits according to circumstances.

The full count emphasized that Ohtani's lack of a run-scoring home run is proof that he is hitting the team.
