PITTSBURGH -- Home runs just sound different off Shohei Ohtani 's bat. But the crack of the bat on his latest blast was something else entirely.

Ohtani hammered a solo shot off Pirates rookie Bubba Chandler at a resounding 120 mph off the bat in the third inning of Tuesday night's series opener at PNC Park. It was the hardest-hit ball not only of Ohtani's career but also by a Dodger since Statcast began tracking in 2015.

The laser shot to the right-field seats was also Ohtani's 100th home run as a Dodger. Per the Elias Sports Bureau, Ohtani is the fourth Major Leaguer to reach the century mark in homers in his first two seasons with a franchise. The others are Babe Ruth (1920-21, Yankees, 113 homers), Alex Rodriguez (2001-02, Rangers, 109) and Roger Maris (1960-61, Yankees, 100).
