the incredible thing about Shohei Ohtani is that other baseball players react to the things he does on the field the same way little kids in the stands do truly one of the most magical athletes we've ever seen

why does that matter? Is that the speed the ball leaves the field?

Speed coming off the bat. Combines with launch angle off the bat to determine distance traveled. In this case, the launch angle was relatively low, but because the launch speed was so high, it still got over the wall before coming down. And did so at warp speed, because it was just going that fast.

120 mph fast balls? I have been away from watching baseball for a while if that alone wasn’t the amazing part of that play.

Not the pitch. Speed off the bat. I think. Hit the bleachers lickety split.
