Shohei Ohtani has done it again.
There was an MLB record to be broken, and he has broken it.
Ohtani's latest feat came thanks to his two home run night on Tuesday in the Los Angeles Dodgers' NL Wild Card opening win over the Cincinnati Reds.
One of Ohtani's homers came on a triple-digit offering, and that's the history made here.
Ohtani has now hit three home runs in his career off a pitch of 100 miles per hour faster. And in the pitch tracking era that dates to 2008, nobody else in MLB has hit three such blasts, per MLB Network's Sarah Langs.
Langs went on to point out that Ohtani also throws 100 miles per hour when he's on the mound.

Makes you wonder whether Shohei could get himself out.
Luckily for the Dodgers, he doesn't have to.
Instead, he can hit two home runs in the first game of the postseason while being slated to start in the Dodgers' third game of the playoffs.
There truly is no one like Ohtani. Langs used the unicorn emoji to describe him.
This will really be Ohtani's first two-way exposure on the postseason stage. That's extra exciting for baseball, which clearly knows Ohtani is one of the best ways they can draw fans in to watch the games.
And whenever he makes history, that helps bring the bar up a bit higher.
