Everyone knows about the incredible power-hitting prowess of Angels slugger / flamethrower Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani consistently does things that no one around baseball has ever witnessed before, and that was true on May 8 when he clobbered a moonshot during batting practice at Coors Field.

Ohtani's shot was hit so hard, in fact, that the ball left a physical mark on a stadium railing. Check this insanity out:

And for scale, here's a photo of how far away that is from home plate.

Shohei Ohtani, a true wonder of wonders. What will he do to wow us next?
