Angels Star Ohtani Wins Home Run Title

By on October 2, 2023

Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani became the first-ever Japanese major leaguer to win a home run title on Sunday.

The 29-year-old Ohtani won the title with 44 home runs, the most in the American League.

The achievement came after Ohtani notched up his 150th home run in MLB and 200th in his professional career, including in Japan, in June. The following month, he blasted home runs in three consecutive games and hit home runs in three straight at-bats.

He hit his 44th homer of the season on Aug. 23 before missing the season’s last 25 games due to ligament surgery in his right elbow.

Ohtani addresses his fans on Instagram after the Angels played their 2023 final game.

“Thank you very much for everyone’s support throughout the season,” the 29-year old star posted on his instagram page.  “I will start my rehab here soon and I will do my best to come back stronger than ever.

“Looking forward to seeing everyone next season!”
