Otani Camp’s first bullpen battle… There will also be a battle for tickets for the opening game. “290,000 people waiting” immediately after sales start[Super J Channel](February 16, 2025)

Otani Shohei, a major league member of the Dodgers, entered the bullpen for the first time in camp, and showed good adjustments to make his way back to his dual-wielding style, including throwing a straight pitch of over 150 km/h. On the 15th, the first day of the three-day holiday in the United States, there was a long line at the Dodgers campsite. Of course, the fans are looking for Otani Shohei. Day 4 of camp. Otani, who entered the bullpen for the first time, threw 14 straight and two-seam pitches. Otani was also seen pitching with the intention of taking a high-pitched course. The manager answered about his current status as a pitcher. Manager Dodgers Roberts: “He pitched about 148 to 151 km/h. It’s a great first day (the bullpen). There’s a high chance that Otani will face the batters before he goes to Tokyo (in the opening game).” Approximately until the opening game of the majors. One month. Ticket sales for the Dodgers vs Cubs opening series began on the 16th. This will be the last time we will sell it to the public, so we put all our efforts into purchasing it. It has been difficult to access right after the sale began, and one of the three staff members was unable to even log in. Reporter Kitamura Riko: “Three minutes into the opening, there were over 26,000 people waiting in front of me.” Another staff member appeared there. As the waiting order was around 3,000 people, I ended up replacing the staff who were unable to log in. While the staff waiting for 3,000 people appeared, expectations rose, the two were in the 20,000 range. Reporter Kitamura Riko: “No, I’m 260,000… 1, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 260,000. I was about ten of the wrong. Single digits. It’s not good at all.” The only hope is Staff attempting to purchase on smartphones. After 40 minutes, I finally arrived at the purchase screen. Reporter Kitamura Riko: “The screen has just switched and the screen appears saying, “The number of tickets scheduled for the MLB opening match has ended.”
