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
