Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (17) wears a gold MLB patch on the back of his uniform during an at-bat against the Yomiuri Giants during the fifth inning at Tokyo Dome. Ohtani’s debut of the patch in Tokyo added an extra layer of excitement to the already highly anticipated game.

Shohei Ohtani met the moment in his return to the Tokyo Dome, because of course he did. In Saturday’s exhibition against the Yomiuri Giants, Ohtani – ever the showman – was quick to slug a home run while wearing a major league uniform in his home country for the first time for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

In an exhibition game against the Yomiuri Giants, Shohei Ohtani blasted a 391-foot home run that gave Japanese fans a reason to shower the Los Angeles Dodgers star with applause.
