Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers started in the away game against the Twins on June 24th, local time, as a “first pitcher, pitcher and DH”! Pitcher Ohtani pitched 6 innings in this campaign, using 89 pitches, allowing 5 hits and 3 runs, striking out 8 times, and successfully won the 8th game of the season! However, in the second inning of the game, as star catcher Will Smith was absent due to injury, the replacement 25-year-old rookie catcher Dalton Rushing (who had just returned to the starting lineup after completing the concussion evaluation process) and Ohtani had a serious signal error (cross-up). Facing Ohtani’s 101.7-mile fireball, the catcher was caught off guard, causing Pagou’s Passed Ball to lose a run, and then was knocked out for a hit, causing the Dodgers to lose three runs in a single inning and find themselves in a desperate situation. When the ABS Challenge was required to be activated, there was another communication gap between pitching and catching, and Ohtani even gave the rookie catcher a rare cold and stern look on the pitcher’s mound. Faced with this trust storm, Ohtani Shohei and the coaching staff subsequently made an adjustment decision that shocked the major leagues! Starting from the third inning, Ohtani Shohei decided to completely take over the distribution rights, and instead actively operated the “electronic pitch device (PitchCom)” he wore to send signals to the catcher. This tactical correction had an immediate effect, and Ohtani then launched an overwhelming pitch that included 4 consecutive strikeouts, completely blocking the Twins’ line! After the game, the young catcher Rasuke was extremely remorseful for his performance and said frankly, “I messed up everything. It’s really shameful for me as an adult catcher to be protected by a pitcher like this.” What kind of warm care and tactical interpretation did the young catcher Shohei Ohtani and head coach Dave Roberts give respectively? Legendary pitchers Pedro Martinez, Johnson, home run king Bonds, and the famous father Ortiz, how do you evaluate Ohtani’s “absolute dominance” on the field and his leadership style of protecting young catchers? In addition, on the same day, Japanese pitcher Imonaga Shota of the Chicago Cubs won his 5th win of the season (he pitched 5.1 innings and allowed 3 runs and 4 runs, but benefited from 6 errors in a single game by his opponent the Mets). What is the decisive difference between Ohtani’s eighth win, which “forcibly accepted fate”, and Imonaga’s winning pitch? This video will give you an in-depth analysis!
