Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani is a once-in-a-lifetime talent and he is impossible to miss whenever he is playing baseball.
Part of that is because of his larger-than-life presence at the plate but another reason is because FOX’s broadcast of the MLB postseason is currently doing everything in its power to make sure you know he is there.
Of course, whenever he comes up to the plate, it has the potential to become an unforgettable moment. But during the NLDS between the Dodgers and the Padres, the broadcast wanted to make sure when fans knew how long until he stepped up to the plate again.
Baseball finally has a marketable star on its hands and their broadcasting partners are going to remind you of that at every opportunity, but fans are already turning it into a meme during his first playoff appearance:
