Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani hit his 27th home run of the season, leading his team to a one-run victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. However, the celebratory moment was marred as a young fan in the right-field seats was struck by the home run ball and appeared injured. The impact was captured in slow motion on video replay, showing the ball hitting the child in the forehead amidst fan excitement. The extent of the fan's injuries remains unknown. Despite a season without pitching due to elbow surgery, Ohtani continues to shine with a .320 batting average and holds second place in home runs in MLB. He is proving his worth after signing a massive deal with the Dodgers and remains a top MVP candidate in the National League. Ohtani will continue his impressive performance against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
