Bo Bichette picked one heck of a moment to hit his first home run of the postseason.

Facing Shohei Ohtani with two men on and one out in the bottom of the third inning of Game 7 of the World Series on Saturday night, Bichette smacked a 442-foot home run over the fence at Roger Center to open up a 3–0 lead for the Blue Jays.

Bichette knew it was gone the moment the ball came off his bat, and took an extended moment to admire his handiwork before trotting around the bases.

Bichette didn’t appear in the postseason until the World Series, having been dealing with an injury suffered in the stretch run of the season. Toronto was eager to get him back in the lineup. It’s not hard to see why.
