Shohei Otani injured his left knee and was scheduled to have it drained after the match. However, in the final game of the first half, he perfectly hit the first pitch and created an extra-large arch of 133 meters, making him the 22nd of the season and the 350th in total between Japan and the United States. He is the second Japanese player to achieve this feat, following Hideki Matsui. Despite this, after the game, he decided to withdraw from the All-Star Game in order to focus on knee treatment. Shohei Otani made history despite having concerns about his knee. Fans expressed their surprise at his extraordinary performance, saying things like, “It doesn’t make sense,” “Is your knee really bad?” and “If you can’t run, hit a home run.” What did you think of this historic shot?
