The shot was Ohtani’s 33rd of the season.

Sammy Sosa , Ken Griffey Jr. , Matt Williams , Mark McGwire and Roger Maris all got to 33, so Ohtani is now tied with that illustrious group for the eighth-most home runs ever before the All-Star break.

In addition to all that, Ohtani has already set the record for most MLB home runs in a season from a Japanese-born player.

Ohtani will start the game at designated hitter for the AL and the expectation is the league will find a way for him to pitch in the game as well.
