Shohei Ohtani has hit a home run on Los Angeles Dodgers spring training debut in a game against Chicago White Sox.

With his team 4-1 down in the bottom of the fifth, $700m man Ohtani hit a massive two-run home run over left and deep for his team.

Ohtani had earlier struck out in his first appearance at the plate at Camelback Ranch in Arizona, facing Garrett Crochet. 

Ohtani even lost his helmet in one wild swing but normal service was resumed soon after.

The 29-year-old Ohtani, who joined the Dodgers from Los Angeles rivals the Angels, will only be a designed hitter in his first season for his new team as he recovers from Tommy John surgery.
