Shohei Ohtani High-Fives Heckler in Viral Video After HR in Dodgers' Win vs. Padres

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani isn't usually one to showboat, but he had an animated moment in Sunday's win over the San Diego Padres.

After his solo home run in the ninth inning capped an 8-2 victory, Ohtani was seen high-fiving a Padres fan near the Dodgers dugout before celebrating with his teammates:

After the game, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts shed some more light on the moment when he revealed the Padres fan was heckling Ohtani throughout the day.

"It was very out of character from Shohei, [but the heckler] was wearing him out the whole game," Roberts said. "So it was good to see Shohei initiate a high-five from him. That was great. That was fun. It was good to see Shohei show his personality."

Prior to the home run, Ohtani was 0-for-10 in the series against the Padres. It appears that the heckler gave him a little extra motivation to break out of his slump.

"He was just kind of talking to Shohei the whole game, so I'm glad Shohei was able to give him a little something else to cheer about," Dodgers star first baseman Freddie Freeman said.

Ohtani will try to build on this momentum when the Dodgers open their series against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.
