Shohei Ohtani launches 473-foot, 116.7mph bomb that nearly sails out of Dodger Stadium

Every at-bat from the best player in baseball is must-see television. And with a national audience, Shohei Ohtani made no exception on Sunday night. 

For his third at-bat of the game, Ohtani stepped into the batter's box to face Kutter Crawford. 

Crawford had just allowed a home run to Austin Barnes and was looking to get back his mojo against Ohtani. 

Crawford through a cutter than hung up in the zone for way too long, right into Ohtani's sweet spot.   

Ohtani made perfect contact with the ball, sending it nearly out of Dodgers stadium on a 473-foot blast.  

The third-longest home run of the Major League Baseball season landed on one of the huts at the edge of the ballpark beyond the several rows of bleachers in right-center field. 

Ohtani had an exit velocity of 116.7 miles per hour on the towering blast, with Freddie Freeman on deck stopping his routine as his jaw dropped at the distance of the longball. 

It was Ohtani's 30th home run of the season, with none being more impressive than taking the 86-mile-per-hour pitch and sending it into orbit and landing nearly in another area code. 

Crawford did not come out of the game after giving up back-to-back home runs, and pitched the rest of the fifth inning. 

It was Ohtani's only hit of the game, but he got his money's worth. 

Jorge Soler hit the longest home run of the season at 478 feet against the Rockies, while Colorado also gave up the second-longest home run of the season, also to Ohtani at 476 feet.
