Shohei Ohtani continued to baffle Royals hitters and baseball fans alike, tossing a pair of scoreless innings in his third start on the mound in a Dodgers uniform. The three-time MVP spoke after the game about what it was like to pitch in his best start of the season so far.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani threw the hardest pitch of his MLB career in Saturday's start against the Kansas City Royals ( a 9-5 loss ). Ohtani uncorked a 101.7 mph fastball on an 0-2 count against Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino, with Pasquantino pulling the ball to second base for an inning-ending double play.

The two-way star throws two scoreless innings, giving up one hit and one walk, and unleashes a 101.7 mph pitch. Kansas City then tagged Ben Casparius for six runs.
