Ohtani's 30th HR -- a 493-footer -- longest in '23

Another day, another jaw-dropping moment for Shohei Ohtani.

On Friday night in Los Angeles, the Angels' two-way star launched his 30th home run of the season and did so in a powerful way -- a 493-foot shot to right field that was the longest of his major league career and the longest by any player in the big leagues this season.

The solo shot came in the sixth inning off Arizona Diamondbacks starter Tommy Henry and continued a torrid stretch for the Japanese sensation. He now has 15 home runs in June (including five this week alone), increasing an Angels record for a month he had set Thursday. Only three others in AL history have hit the 15 mark in June -- joining Babe Ruth (1930 Yankees), Bob Johnson (1934 A's) and Roger Maris (1961 Yankees).

Ohtani also joined Sammy Sosa (1998) as the only players with 30 home runs and 10 stolen bases before the month of July in a season in major league history. And he became just the fourth player in American League history to record 30 home runs before the month of July in a season, joining Ken Griffey Jr., Chris Davis and Babe Ruth.

Ohtani's three longest homers have come at Angel Stadium. His previous best was a 470-foot drive off Kansas City's Kris Bubic in 2001.
