Shohei Ohtani is the physical embodiment of Theodore Roosevelt’s "Speak softly and carry a big stick" quote. We don’t hear from him much, but he goes out every day and mashes home run after home run against seemingly every pitcher he face.
But on Sunday, Ohtani broke from his usual stoic self when he took a second to celebrate his home run against the Padres by … dapping up a heckler who had been sitting next to the Dodgers’ dugout all game.
Normally, every Ohtani home run features a bevy of celebrations between him and his teammates in the Dodgers dugout.
