Following Vladimir Guerrero Jr. taking the walk, Bichette powered this home run 442 feet into the air.
Bichette needed just one swing to ignite the Rogers Centre crowd in pounding Ohtani's 88 mph slider. He drove Guerrero Jr. George Springer to home plate in the process. He even delivered an epic bat flip and walk in knowing the ball sailed over the outfield wall.
Bichette earned praise from manager John Schneider about the swing during the fourth inning. The home run hitter got fans up in arms over the Blue Jays' baserunning decision involving him .

He injured his knee and left fans wondering earlier in the month if he'd return. But Bichette dropped one more eye-opening claim before Game 6: If this is his last season with the franchise.
He's in the last year of his three-year contract that pays him $33.6 million. He could walk away from the team a WS champion. Bichette smacked at least one hit in all but one game during the WS — going hitless in Game 2 won by L.A. He came back to pound two hits in the epic 18-inning contest of Game 3 at Chavez Ravine.
His Blue Jays, however, struggled to generate additional runs after his HR blast. The Dodgers cut the lead to 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth off a sacrifice fly ball RBI.
