Shohei Ohtani continues to amaze.
Every time the Los Angeles Dodgers' two-way superstar takes the field, he's got the potential to break the game just a little bit more.
That's what happened on Tuesday night when Ohtani stepped to the plate in the third inning in Pittsburgh.
He turned on a pitch, crushing it to deep right field and long gone. It left the bat at 120 miles per hour.
That's the hardest-hit ball by the Dodgers in the Statcast era, dating to 2015, according to MLB Network's Sarah Langs.
It's hard to imagine many were hit harder than this before Statcast, either.

This marked Shohei's 46th home run of the season. It's now the third time he has hit at least 46 homers in a campaign, along with 2021, when he hit 46, and last season, when he hit 54.
With still almost a month left, Ohtani can at least make a run at that 54 mark from last season, especially if he keeps hitting baseballs this hard.
Ohtani pushed himself up to 86 RBI with this home run. At the time of the homer, Ohtani had raised his season average to .277, on-base percentage to .386, slugging percentage to .606 and OPS to .992.
The Pirates hosting the Dodgers on Tuesday night might've felt fruitless to Pittsburgh baseball fans, but you don't go to the ballpark to hope for a surprise win. You go to see players like Ohtani, a generational talent.
And on this night, Ohtani gave the Pittsburgh crowd a reason to sit in awe and wonder.
