Today’s episode takes you back to the Dodgers’ warm-up game against the Giants. The most eye-catching thing about this match was Shohei Ohtani’s first start since the WBC. He pitched 4.1 innings today, allowing only 1 hit and no runs, striking out 4 times, and his fastest ball speed was 99.9 mph! Ohtani even joked in the post-match interview that this was just “an extension of Live BP.” This video will provide an in-depth analysis of Ohtani’s three highlights today: Four-seam fastball: approaching 100 mph, with a healthy arm. Evolved version of the fork ball: the usage rate is greatly increased to 21%, the speed is reduced to make the fall more pure, and the swing rate is as high as 50%. “Ecstasy” curveball: The vertical drop range is as high as 61 inches, resolving the crisis of full bases at critical moments. In addition to Ohtani’s performance, the Dodgers’ main infield lineup (Freeman, Rojas, Betts, Muncy) was all present, and Freeman even made his first hit in spring training. The Dodgers eventually won the game 5-1. Next, the Dodgers will face the Padres, with Yushin Yamamoto starting, so please stay tuned! 0:00 Review of this game 1:43 Review of Shohei Ohtani’s pitching performance in this game 2:58 The four-seamer is in excellent condition 3:51 Usage of the forkball has increased significantly 5:46 The curveball is in great shape 7:02 Shohei Ohtani’s pitching summary of 4.1 innings 7:51 Yunobu Yamamoto starts the next game
