Dodgers pitcher Otani Shohei (30) will start in the Pirates home game on the 25th (26th Japan time) as the number one DH. Before the game, they played catch and adjusted for the bullpen pitching on the 26th (27th). He pitched 32 balls in the longest catch, about 30 meters. While playing a catch, the pitch went up twice and jumped into the stands on the third base side, and the fans who were watching were also intimidating. Surprised fans chilled out, “Hey!” and “Show hey!” A voice was raised, and during Otani’s second wild pitching, he bowed his head and apologised to the fans. On the 18th, Otani entered the “father list” to be present at Mamiko’s birth, and on the 19th, she announced her first child, her eldest daughter, on Instagram. Due to the fact that he missed two games on maternity leave, he delayed his schedule for entering the bullpen on the 23rd. Still, he has maintained his strength by playing catch for the second day in a row on the 22nd and 23rd, and has said there is no problem with adjustments, and manager Dave Roberts said he will enter the bullpen on the 26th, saying, “I’m planning to pitch in the bullpen tomorrow.” We bring you the latest news Sponichi Annex https://www.sponichi.co.jp/ Sponichi Photography and Video Club’s X (formerly Twitter) https://x.com/Sponichi_Photo Sponichi Photography and Video Club’s Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sponichiphoto_official?igsh=MWVyZmZzcGpvNmsycA== Sponichi’s X (formerly Twitter) https://twitter.com/sponichiannex
