Dodgers manager Dave Roberts reacts to Shohei Ohtani’s home run against the Diamondbacks

The ninth inning of the recent clash between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks will be remembered for a long time. Shohei Ohtani went on to prove why he is one of the most prominent and bankable names on the Dodgers team with his bat power. The talented designated hitter changed the trajectory of the game against the Diamondbacks with his home run in the ninth inning. The three-run home run launched from Ohtani’s bat went on to turn the game to the Dodgers’ side. Dodgers manager Dave Rogers could not stop talking about Ohtani’s sheer flamboyance on the ground. During the postgame interview, Rogers revealed being impressed by Shohei Ohtani’s hitting prowess. He said, “Between him and Barry Bonds, they’re the two best players I’ve ever seen. I played with Barry. But what Shohei does in the clutch —I’ve never seen anything like what he does in the clutch.”
Rogers further mentioned“I think all of the above. He sees his teammates fighting and guys trying to keep us in the ballgame, so that was kind of the climax of that moment.
It’s good to see him show emotion like that. It was great.”
