You don’t hit that pitch. At best you foul it off and hope to get a better one. The cat and mouse of pitchers and hitters is great to see especially when it’s two guys that know each other well.
Did you see Ohtani's homer? That would be an excellent submission for @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears Somehow Hittable series.

I just saw it, wow. 92 with movement off the plate away, pulled down the line. None of that makes sense. He’s seeing beach balls right now. Everything is hitting his barrel.

I'm embarrassed that I hadn't even checked out the homer. I hadn't been planning on a series, but if enough pitches get hit out of the park, may have to do it.
