Bo Bichette launched the first major fireworks of Game 7 in the World Series, igniting the crowd well before tensions rose between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays over the Justin Wrobleski and Andres Gimenez incident. Bichette smacked a towering home run off Dodgers megastar Shohei Ohtani, sending fans to their feet at the Rogers Centre.

Following Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s walk, Bichette powered the ball 442 feet into the air, crushing Ohtani’s 88 mph slider with just one swing. This blast not only energized the crowd but also drove Guerrero Jr. and George Springer home, giving the Blue Jays a crucial lead.

Bichette’s epic bat flip and confident trot around the bases showed his awareness that the ball had cleared the outfield wall. Manager John Schneider praised Bichette’s swing during the fourth inning, highlighting it as a key moment in the game.

However, Bichette also stirred controversy with a baserunning decision that left Blue Jays fans up in arms, adding drama to an already intense Game 7 atmosphere.

### Bo Bichette’s Performance Throughout the Dodgers vs. Blue Jays World Series

Bichette faced adversity before hitting the biggest stage in October. Earlier in the month, he suffered a knee injury that left fans questioning if he would return in time for the playoffs.

Ahead of Game 6, Bichette dropped an eye-opening comment about his future with the franchise. Currently in the last year of his three-year, $33.6 million contract, Bichette hinted that this might be his final season with Toronto — with the hope of walking away as a World Series champion.

Throughout the World Series, Bichette was a consistent offensive threat, recording at least one hit in every game except Game 2, which the Dodgers won. Notably, he had two hits in the marathon 18-inning Game 3 at Chavez Ravine.

Despite Bichette’s heroics, the Blue Jays struggled to produce additional runs after his home run blast. The Dodgers chipped away at the lead, cutting it to 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning with a sacrifice fly RBI.

Bo Bichette’s impact on this World Series has been undeniable, providing timely offense and electrifying moments for the Blue Jays and their fans.
