The milestone blast was his 46th of the season and recorded his fastest exit-velocity in his MLB career.
Ohtani started as designated leadoff hitter in the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday.
At his second at bat in the third inning, Ohtani faced off with Pirates’ 22-year-old rookie Bubba Chandler who was pitching his first inning.
Ohtani crushed Chandler’s 159.6 kilometers per hour inside low ball into the right-field stands.
The exit-velocity was 193.1 kilometers per hour — too fast for the TV camera to follow into the stands.
Ohtani’s latest rocket was the fastest ever by a Dodger since record keeping began in 2015.
It was also this year’s second fastest home run in the major league, following 197.7 kilometers per hour recorded by Oneil Cruz of the Pittsburgh Pirates in May.
Ohtani’s 46th home run was his first for seven games, narrowing the gap to three with the National League’s home run leader Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies.
