Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani Shatters Franchise Record With Historic 120 MPH Home Run

The home run placed Ohtani in a league of his own, as he surpassed former Dodgers All-Star Gary Sheffield, who needed 399 games to hit 100 home runs in a Dodger uniform. Ohtani did it in just his 294th game with LA.

In addition to setting a Dodgers franchise record in reaching 100 home runs faster than anyone, Ohtani’s 120 mph hit was also the hardest of his career.
