Shohei Ohtani's "Miraculous Three Homers" in the Playoffs: Dodgers Erect a Commemorative Plaque for His Massive Home Run

Although Shohei Ohtani did not reach the extraordinary "50 homers and 50 steals" feat again this year, after regaining his full two-way player status, he produced a historic display in the fourth game of the National League Championship Series during his second playoff run, recording 10 strikeouts in 6 innings and hitting three home runs. The second homer was the farthest, flying completely out of the park. According to local media reports on the 27th, the Dodgers have installed a commemorative plaque in the outfield marking the 469-foot (approximately 143 meters) home run by Ohtani, honoring this achievement as a legendary recognition for a modern player.

In the fourth game of this year’s National League Championship Series, Shohei Ohtani hit a home run in his very first at-bat of the opening inning. In the bottom of the fourth, facing Brewers reliever Chad Patrick, with a count of one ball and three strikes, he seized an 89.3 mph (about 143.7 km/h) inside cutter and blasted a massive home run toward center-left field, traveling 469 feet. The ball struck the farthest roof in center-left field and flew out of the stadium.

Ohtani’s incredible power was fully displayed in this game, reaching base in all of his first four at-bats, including three home runs, creating a miraculous performance. According to footage captured by local media, after completing the first two away games of the World Series, the Dodgers will return to Los Angeles for the third game against the Toronto Blue Jays. At the spot in the home outfield where Ohtani hit that crucial second homer, the team has specially installed a commemorative plaque so that Ohtani’s feat will be permanently remembered at Dodger Stadium, while also carrying this momentum into the upcoming third game of the World Series.
