Shohei Ohtani HOMERS in his FIRST game as a Dodger!

but he was able to make the play and here is Otani and what will more than likely be his final at bat today in his Dodger debut there's a lot there's a lot to look at excuse me Tim but again very short stride a weight transfer but he is so big and strong it's amazing so much media attention when he took his first batting practice live BP media members counting the number of swings he took and then the number of home runs he took I believe the first one was 21 swings 10 home runs and that became National and international news 01 to Otani outside one ball one strike what as an observation Otani is one of those few players that when he is about to come up no one leaves their seat the aisles are empty here's a 1-1 pitch that's low two and one one thing to keep in mind he said he wanted to have 50 at bats this spring but a lot of those at bats will be counted on the back field last year for the angels He took 11 at bats in the Cactus League games all the rest of the at bats he took a route back so we don't know how many he's going to have here he swings and misses and now the count two and two looked at a couple of numbers of of Otani where where pitchers started to try and get to him he handled the ball out away from him exceptionally well the ball inside on his hands at times problematic 2 two is a little bit up but even when Otani takes batting practice and I had heard this from Dodger Personnel even during the off season every time he goes to home plate whether it be batting practice everything is precise Ramos has to dive back a quick throw over by Leon Ramos will run with the pitch [Applause] Dave Roberts saying he's oh that gets away from vau and down to second base goes Ramos I think that was a bad throw I think V just clanked it well You' got three and two and obviously he got some attention yeah the ball was caught tried to make the slap tag in the ball just flew out a glove three and two to sh Otani as's Leon stretches and comes to the plate now swung on hit high in the air to left and deep this ball carrying this ball is gone it is Dodger debut sh Otani brings them to their feet a two-run home run that's what they've been waiting [Applause] for show me the way I just talked about you know the power that he has watch him lift this ball very short stride lift the ball it just kept going that is a strong man right there
