"A sweeper is a pitch designed to generate popups...and the swing that Vlad put on it was elite. After last night [Game 3] and kind of all the recognition that went into Shohei individually and he's on the mound today, it's a huge swing from Vlad. It's a huge swing to get us going. I think that gives [us] some momentum."
"Vladimir Guerrero Jr. got a hanging sweeper from all-world pitcher/hitter Shohei Ohtani in the third inning of Game 4 of the World Series -- and blasted it into the night sky just moments after the Los Angeles Dodgers had taken a 1-0 lead. It was a critical swing for the Blue Jays mere hours after they lost a heartbreaking, 18-inning affair, putting Toronto behind in the series for the first time."
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a pivotal home run off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning of Game 4, giving Toronto a lead they never relinquished. The blast came shortly after an 18-inning loss and evened the series at two games apiece. Guerrero is hitting .419 with seven postseason home runs, providing consistent offense and momentum for the Blue Jays. Manager John Schneider praised the elite swing on a pitch meant to produce popups and credited the homer with energizing the team. Teammates and opponents have repeatedly noted Guerrero's focus and impact during October.
