Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani made history yet again on April 2 when he hit a walk-off home run and helped to propel his team to an 8-0 series start—the best score ever achieved by a defending World Series champion at the beginning of a season.

According to Dylan Hernández of the Los Angeles Times, Shohei Ohtani will be there: Ohtani said he would go. He got asked that by the Japanese media, he says he’s going. Ohtani, who is a seemingly untouchable demigod by the league’s standards, is sure to receive some backlash from his fanbase over this move.

Shohei Ohtani once expressed his mindset towards high-pressure situations: "It's actually an honor to feel the pressure because that means there's a lot of expectations." Embracing this philosophy, something is brewing on the West Coast.
