'The God of Baseball' Shohei Ohtani (32, LA Dodgers) was also a player who knew how to curse. He was so impressive that you couldn't help but nod in agreement when seeing the opposing pitcher. An exciting showdown unfolded between '168km fireballer' Jacob Misiorowski (24, Milwaukee Brewers) and Ohtani.

On the 16th (Korean time), the Dodgers lost 1-4 to Milwaukee during an away game in the 2026 MLB regular season held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, USA.

Milwaukee's starting pitcher for the day was Misiorowski, a hard-throwing pitcher. The Dodgers' lineup struggled to hit Misiorowski's fastballs.

Most notably, the matchup between Ohtani, another fireballer, drew attention. When pitching, Ohtani is also famous for unleashing hard fastballs like Misiorowski.

Ohtani appeared as the leadoff batter in the bottom of the first inning and was retired on a third-inning pop fly to the third baseman after six pitches with a 2-2 count. In this at-bat, Misiorowski's fastest pitch reached 104.2 mph (167.7 km/h), which was his fastest of the day.

In the second matchup, Ohtani won perfectly. In the bottom of the third inning with two outs and a runner on first base, Ohtani stepped up to the plate. The first pitch was foul. On the second pitch, he swung and missed at a 102 mph (164.2 km/h) four-seam fastball down the middle. Then came the third pitch. Ohtani pulled a 100.3 mph (161.4 km/h) inside fastball, and the ball dropped just inside the right-field line after clearing the first baseman who attempted to jump for it. The runner on first scored during this play. Ohtani sprinted all the way to third base before stopping and performing a light ceremony.

However, the third matchup was different again. In the bottom of the fifth inning during the Dodgers' offensive turn, a bases-loaded situation with one out was set up for Ohtani. This time, the fireballer mixed in his breaking balls properly — two types in fact. The first pitch was an 88.5 mph (142.4 km/h) curveball that came below the strike zone, and Ohtani swung and missed. Then came the second pitch. This time, a 102.4 mph (164.8 km/h) four-seam fastball was drilled deep inside. Ohtani quickly found himself in an unfavorable 0-2 count.

Then came the third pitch. Misiorowski again threw to the low inside corner, but this time the pitch type was completely different. It was a 92.5 mph (148.9 km/h) slider that dropped sharply after approaching on a similar path to the previous four-seam fastball. Even Ohtani, known as the best in the world, had no answer. He swung and missed, ultimately striking out on three pitches. The TV broadcast even captured an unusual scene of Ohtani muttering curse words in English as he walked toward the dugout after being struck out on three pitches.

As a result, Misiorowski pitched six innings allowing five hits, one walk, and six strikeouts while giving up only one earned run, securing his 12th win of the season. In 23 starts this season, he has recorded 12 wins and 5 losses with an ERA of 1.75 over 139 innings, allowing 73 hits (including 13 home runs), 35 runs (27 earned), hitting nine batters, issuing 31 walks, and striking out 210 batters, with a WHIP of 0.75. He leads the entire MLB in ERA and strikeouts.
