Ever wonder what a baseball looks like from the perspective of getting hit by Shohei Ohtani’s bat, which makes a booming noise every time he hits dingers?
Now we know, thanks to the joys of the umpire camera, which has shown us how hard it is to hit certain pitches or how scary a fastball at the chin can be.
This time, it’s a meatball over the plate that Ohtani gets around quickly against the Milwaukee Brewers in a win on Tuesday night.
Check out this video and be in awe like I was. Ohtani is just so good at baseball:
