If you look up the definition of “unicorn” in the dictionary, there should just be a picture of Shohei Ohtani next to the word. The fact that this dude can throw 100 mph while also hitting baseballs 500 feet just isn’t fair. We’re discussing his homers on a yearly basis here, but we also thought it’d be a good idea to chronicle what he does this season with our 2023 Shohei Ohtani Home Run Tracker.

Below, you’ll find all the pertinent information you’d want to know about his 2023 tanks. This includes the date and opponent, along with the distance and exit velocity for each dinger.

With each blast Ohtani launches into the seats, it just adds fuel to his free agency fire. Unless he signs an extension before the end of this season, he’ll hit the open market next winter as the most intriguing free agent in baseball history. After all, nobody that does what he can — at an elite level — has been available for all 30 MLB teams.

He was available to everyone in 2017 upon coming over from Japan, but this is different. He now has an AL MVP Award under his belt and is a proven commodity at the big-league level. Only a few teams are willing and able to afford him, but there’s no doubt that every team would want him if money wasn’t an issue.

Until that happens, though, Ohtani needs to finish the 2023 campaign. Follow along with his home runs here — we’ll be updating this article with each dinger he slugs.
