This was due to his involvement with Toronto in free agency last winter.

Then, reports surfaced that Ohtani was on a flight to Toronto.

However, this turned out to be a false report. Ohtani signed a massive 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers.

Toronto fans, 바카라사이트 who were excited to welcome Ohtani to their city, felt an even greater sense of loss.

After the rumors of a possible move to Toronto sent the baseball world into a frenzy, Ohtani will make his first trip to Toronto this year.

The fans greeted their lost star with loud boos, but it didn't last long.

On a one-pitch, one-strike count, Ohtani took Chris Bassett's three-pitch body slider for a solo shot over the right-center field fence. The ball traveled 109.7 meters at a speed of 154.7 mph.

It was his seventh home run of the season, his first in three games since April 24 against the Washington Nationals. Ohtani's thunderous blast, which showcased his star presence, quickly brought the Rogers Centre to its feet.

With his seventh home run since joining the Dodgers, Ohtani tied manager Dave Roberts' record for most home runs by a Japanese player in the organization.
