He had a runner on his back from the first inning, and was in a pinch with one out on first and second base. At this point, Shohei Otani clearly switched gears. 159.6km → 161.2km → 163.7km. All in-course. It took just three pitches to get the ball out. No wonder the other person can’t help but ask, “Why do you throw so hard to me?” “Do your best to suppress it” is Shohei Otani’s style.
