Some speculated Miami might pitch around Ohtani rather than land themselves on highlight reels around the world, with the question apparently reaching Marlins manager Skip Schumaker in the dugout before Ohtani's at-bat. His answer was simple, and showed plenty of his character:

The Los Angeles Dodgers star hit his 49th, 50th and 51st homers and stole his 50th and 51st bases all in a single game against the Miami Marlins on Thursday, bursting into history with a 6-for-6 game with three homers, two doubles, two steals, four runs scored and 10 RBI in a 20-4 Dodgers win that clinched Ohtani's first trip to the MLB playoffs.
