Shohei Ohtani was on fire for the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night and absolutely obliterated a ball in the 9th inning.

Ohtani went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a whopping eight RBIs, though his Angels lost 12-11 in 11 innings. First Ohtani hit a three-run jack in the bottom of the sixth to bring it to a 6-4 game.

Then in the 9th, Ohtani did it again. With two on, one out and his team down by three, Ohtani delivered another three-run home run. But he didn’t just hit a home run; he annihilated the pitch.

That ball was completely clobbered. Even Ohtani had to admire his work.

As if his seven RBIs to that point weren’t enough, Ohtani added an RBI sac fly in the 11th. Despite his eight RBI night, the Angels still couldn’t win.
