For a moment or two, it seemed like it was going to be another majestic home run by Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani. Michael Harris II had other ideas.
The Braves center fielder denied Ohtani of what would have been his 40th home run of the season by timing his leap at the wall perfectly to keep the ball in the yard in the ninth inning on Monday night’s game. It would have been a three-run homer for Ohtani, who instead had to settle for a loud out.
The long fly out traveled 406 feet with an exit velocity of 101.2 miles per hour, according to Statcast. It would have been a home run in 15 out of 30 ballparks.
