Dodgers pitcher Otani Shohei (30) also improved his method when he returned to base on the 9th (10th Japan time). During practice on this day, Otani practiced returning from his left foot instead of returning from his traditional right foot. When you return from your left foot, your body will face the pitcher (mound), making it easier to check the outcome of the throw. He was instructed by Special Assistant GM Ron Renneki for a few days ago, and he practiced in both traditional and new forms, looking at tablet devices and discussing them with Strength Coach Travis Smith and interpreter Will Ierton.
