Should the Padres beware of the two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani's prowess?
Ohtani, the multi-talented player for the Los Angeles Angels, continues to make waves with his exceptional abilities both as a pitcher and a batter. He has recently reached the remarkable milestone of leading the league with 31 home runs.
This impressive start to the month seems to be a continuation of Ohtani's outstanding performance in June, where he set a franchise record by hitting 15 home runs.
If Ohtani maintains his current level of play and participates in all remaining games for the Angels, he is projected to achieve an impressive total of 58 home runs.
The Los Angeles Angels will now embark on an interstate journey to take on the San Diego Padres in an away series. Currently holding a 45-41 record, they occupy the third position in the AL West standings.
