Judge, wait! Ohtani, the 'scoring devil,' hits a timely hit... Dodgers see the World Series

Shohei Ohtani (30, LA Dodgers), the "scoring devil," exploded with his instinct to solve the problem. He is about to advance to the World Series in his first fall baseball league debut.

Ohtani started the game against the New York Mets as a designated hitter in Game 6 of the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) postseason National League Championship Series (NLCS) at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 21st (Korea time) and hit a timely hit in the sixth inning.
Ohtani, who has maintained good batting performance by recording hits in three consecutive games through the third game (one hit in four at-bats, one home run, three RBIs and three walks) and the fifth game (two hits in four at-bats), also showed off his strong batting performance in the sixth game. Ohtani, who met Sean Manaea, the only starting pitcher in the second game (three at-bats, no hits and two strikeouts) who failed to record a hit in the NLCS, successfully avenged his loss from his first at bat.

Ohtani, who appeared as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the first inning when his team was losing 0-1, opened the scoring by hitting a critical hit. After Mookie Betts struck out, he advanced to the third base when Teoscar Hernandez had a hit. Tommy Edman, the cleanup hitter with runners on the first and third bases with one out, hit a timely two-run homer and Ohtani scored.스포츠토토
In the bottom of the third inning, Edman's two-run homerun made the Dodgers run 4-1. Then, Will Smith's two-run shot, with two outs and a runner on the second base, widened the gap to 6-1.

Mets did not just suffer. Mark Vientos, a two-run homerun with two outs and a runner on the first base, narrowed the score to 6-3 in the top of the fourth inning.

Ohtani struck out in the bottom of the second inning and was out after a foul fly ball in the bottom of the fourth inning, but he rekindled his bat in the bottom of the sixth inning. The Dodgers secured a golden opportunity with no outs and no outs thanks to Smith's walk and the Mets' choice of fielders when Chris Taylor sacrificed himself. Ohtani hit a 98.4-mile-per-hour fastball after a full count game that went up to seven pitches with Mets bullpen pitcher Line Stanek. Ohtani overcame the fastball by banking on his timely hit that fell in front of the center field. It was a valuable RBI single that enabled the Dodgers to garner a 7-3 victory.
Ohtani, who is playing his first fall baseball since entering the MLB, is showing off his scoring capacity of six hits in nine at-bats (batting average of 0.667) and two home runs and nine RBIs, including his fourth at-bat in the game. Including the regular season, he has shown off his instinct as a "scoring devil" with a batting average of 0.818, with 18 hits in 22 at-bats recently.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers, who are leading the series with 3 wins and 2 losses, are leading the Mets with a score of 7-4 until the top of the seventh inning of Game 6 of the NLCS. In the American League (AL), if the Dodgers advance to the World Series after the New York Yankees beat Cleveland, Ohtani and Aaron Judge, and the top 0 candidates for MVP of the two leagues, will face off.
