The 2021 Homerun Derby was easily one the best that baseball fans have ever seen. It didn’t feature any Dodgers players, but it was still amazing. The round between Angels’ Shohei Ohtani and Nationals Juan Soto was quite literally the greatest round possibly of all time.
In the middle of that matchup, Shohei famously received a phone call that changed the course of his round. The call was supposedly from teammate Mike Trout which made for a great story. But according to Dodgers infielder Justin Turner, it was not Mike Trout.
And he’s easily one of our favorites.
