Shohei Ohtani's 476-foot Home Run Unreachable at Anomalous Valley Forge High School: Angels Star Defies Dodgers Rivalry

Shohei Ohtani, the two-way MLB star, hit a 476-foot home run in his latest game. However, this homer would not have been a home run at Valley Forge High School in Parma, Ohio due to its unusual center field dimensions. In the same game, Ohtani drove in two runs and scored one himself. The Angels won against their rivals, the Dodgers, with Taylor Ward securing the victory with a go-ahead single in the 10th inning.

Ohtani's impressive performance did not go unnoticed by both teams' managers. Dave Roberts of the Dodgers acknowledged his former player's skills but lamented their team's failure to support him. Ron Washington of the Angels expressed respect for Ohtani and the challenge he posed.

In addition, Luis García earned the win with two innings of relief pitching. Ohtani has been in excellent form lately, homering in four out of six games and scoring a run and driving in a run for six consecutive games – a team best.

Valley Forge High School's center field is an anomaly, making it impossible for players like Ohtani and Pablo Sanchez to hit home runs there. The layout resembles the opposite of Steele Stadium, with one side having a seemingly insurmountable challenge for hitting over the fence.

Ohtani's first game against his former team, the Dodgers, resulted in a two-run homer. He had previously lost to them 11 times in a row while playing for the Angels. Ohtani reached base in all four plate appearances with two hits and two walks, contributing to both runs.

The Dodgers entered this game with a nine-game lead in the NL West, while the Angels were 13.5 games out in the AL West.
