Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani hit his 27th home run Tuesday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and it hit a young fan in the head in the right-center stands.
Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani mashed his 27th home run of the season Tuesday night, and it gave his team a one-run lead late against the Arizona Diamondbacks. But as fans at Dodger Stadium cheered Ohtani rounding the bases, a young fan in the right-field seats appeared injured by the home run ball. Video replay of Ohtani’s home run in slow motion showed the ball hit a child in the forehead while other fans were trying to catch the ball.
It’s unknown if the fan was seriously injured from Ohtani’s hit, which exited his bat at 112 mph. SHOHEI OHTANI! The home run helped Ohtani’s Dodgers defeat their NL West foe, 6-5, during a season in which the Japanese star isn’t pitching after having elbow ligament surgery in September. Ohtani his hitting .320, which is just below New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge for the league lead in that category. Ohtani passed Baltimore Orioles phenom Gunnar Henderson for second in home runs in MLB.
Ohtani will look to add to his MVP resume Wednesday night against the Diamondbacks. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
