Shohei Ohtani came through for his fans in a big way on Wednesday night.
Ohtani slugged a walk-off home run to center field to give his Los Angeles Dodgers a 6-5 win over the Atlanta Braves at Dodger Stadium. Best of all, Ohtani delivered his home run on the same night the Dodgers held an Ohtani bobblehead doll giveaway for the fans.
Take a look at this home run Ohtani slugged on a first-pitch changeup from Braves reliever Raisel Iglesias.

Ohtani went 3-for-5 in the game, and the home run was his third of the season. The Dodgers are now 8-0 to begin the year and are five wins away from tying the record for a best start to an MLB season.
For those wondering, here is what the Ohtani bobblehead looked like:

The bobblehead showed Ohtani holding his NL MVP award from 2024. Ohtani slugged 54 home runs with 130 RBIs and a .310 batting average last year — all career-high marks.
