Today we summarize the key news from the first day of Dodger spring training: Ohtani Shohei personally revealed that he has been in the bullpen three times and has a smooth rhythm. He finally ushered in a “normal off-season” to reassure fans. When it comes to the goal of the Cy Young Award, he is also very pragmatic, emphasizing that healthy pitching for a full season is the key. Head coach Roberts has set the tone for this year’s spring training to “take your time, but have a plan.” A six-person rotation may be adopted in the initial stage, and named Yunobu Yamamoto, Ohtani, Riki Sasaki, Glasnow, Emmet and others are already in the planning. Snell started late due to a shoulder condition, and his participation in the opening game remains to be seen. In addition, the pitcher group management plan is also updated, as well as Roberts’ expectations for the actual effectiveness of Sasaki’s new pitches (cutter ball, 2-seam fastball). Finally, I shared that Vesia was interviewed for the first time after experiencing the pain of losing his daughter. He talked about thanking his teammates and the league for their support, and receiving psychological counseling to start over again – it really made people cheer for him. 0:00 Preface 1:07 Ohtani responds to the current training situation 1:59 Second-team season and Cy Young Award goals 2:56 Ohtani responds to preparations for WBC status and Live BP 3:15 Ohtani responds to the reason why translation is still needed 3:46 Head coach’s team’s spring training plan 4:14 Observations and expectations for Ohtani’s first double-team season 4:58 Ohtani’s batting order arrangement 5:44 The head coach responds to his observations on Yamamoto and Ohtani’s participation in the WBC 6:42 How to arrange the starting rotation 7:30 How to group pitchers for training 8:26 The head coach’s expectations for Sasaki 9:19 Vesia responds to the current physical and mental condition and thanks teammates
