Sports | baseball

(Sports Seoul | Reporter Park Yeon -jun) On the 2nd, Los Angeles Dodgers Otani Shohei, 31, shot 30 home runs in the season. As a result, the number of players hit 30 home runs in the first half of the season. All three players are likely to hit 50 home runs. If so, it will produce ’50 home run trio’ in 24 years.

Otani shot a 30 -home home run in the Chicago White Sox and home games at the Los Angeles Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, USA.

At the end of the fourth round, Otani hit a solo gun over the middle of the right middle fence by hitting 90.3 miles (145 km / h) of the White Sox starter.

With this home run, Otani filled 30 home runs in 86 games. This is the shortest record for the Dodgers. It is faster than last year with 54 home runs. It also set a record of 30 homers for five consecutive years. This is the first record of the Japanese Big Ligger.

Dodgers Dave Roberts said through MLB.com, “Otani overcomes the burden of all of the gaze and tuta from the outside. That’s why you have no choice but to admire.”

Three batters have hit 30 home runs in the first half of this season with a breakthrough in Otani 30 homers. Earlier, Seattle’s Carl Lolly and New York Yankees Aaron Jersey surpassed 30 home runs. ML’s fifth time in the first half of the first half of the first half of the year was born.

In the first half of the season, three or more home runs in the first half were in the first half of the season, in 1969 (Reggie Jackson, Frank Howard, Willy McCobby), 1994 (Ken Griffi Jr., Matt Williams, Frank Thomas), 1998 (Mark McGuire, Griffy Jr., Sami Sosa, Greg), and 2019 (Christians) Yelich, Pete Alonso, Cody Bellinger).

A new ‘giant era’ is expected to open in the United States. In terms of current pace, Otani and Jersey (0.35 home runs per game) can hit 57 home runs and Lolly (0.39 per game) can hit 63 home runs.

If all three players exceed 50 home runs, ML will write a record of ‘three home runs three people’ in 24 years since 1998 and 2001.

In 2001, Barry Bones (73), Sammy Sosa (64), Luis Gonzalez (57) and Alex Rodriguez (52) were written. In 1998, Mark McGuire (70), Sammy Sosa (66), Ken Griffi Jr. (56) and Greg Vic (50) were made.

This year is different from before. 1998 and 2001 are the ‘drug age’. In a different sense, it is actually the first season of all time. duswns0628@sportsseoul.com
