The crowds at Tokyo Dome go silent for Ohtani’s at-bats then erupt in cheers for anything he does, but he seems largely unaffected by a level of attention that might be matched by only a handful

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.

With a crowd of 42,064 filling the Tokyo Dome, the three-time MVP delivers and goes deep in his second at-bat in the Dodgers’ 5-1 win over the Yomiuri Giants.
