[Shouhei Otani June 6 Local News]Reuniting with former teammates, cheers from home base fans during catch game

Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani (31) had a chance to interact with his former teammates on the 6th (7th Japan time) before the game against the Angels at his home base. Before the game, Otani made adjustments by playing catch on the field. He made long throws at a distance of about 70 meters, and at the end he took one step at a distance of about 20 meters, and pitched for about 10 minutes. When Will Ireton, who works as a data analyst and interpreter, catches a ball batted during batting practice and protects Ohtani, there is a big applause from the stands. Otani threw the ball to the fans, receiving another loud cheer as he finished his training session. When he was leaving, he greeted Angels trainer and massage therapist Yoichi Terada in front of the third base bench. They warmed up old friendships by having conversations and taking photos.
