[Otani Shohei, March 2nd local news]Otani catch ball Yamamoto & Sasaki bullpen

Dodgers pitcher Otani Shohei (30) played as the No. 1 DH in the White Sox game on the 2nd (3rd Japan time). In his second at-bat with no outs in the fourth inning, he hit his second consecutive hit in the game. On this day, he played in two at-bats and had one hit in two at-bats. In his first at-bat, he was the first batter, he faced White Sox starter Martin. He couldn’t get a hand at the outside slider that was thrown from the full count, and he missed it and struck out. However, he showed a solid result in his next at-bat. Before the game, Dodgers pitchers Yamamoto Yunobu (26) and Sasaki Roki (23), who were selected as opening pitchers, practiced pitching in the bullpen on the 2nd (3rd Japan time). Yamamoto put the batters on the ball in anticipation of a real game, and threw 37 pitches, including fastballs and curveballs. Sasaki has 29 pitches less than Yamamoto. There was also a scene where he throws in quick motion, mainly with powerful straights. Coach Dave Roberts (52) has already announced that Yamamoto will be appearing in the opening game this spring for the third time against the Reds on the 4th (5th). Sasaki is scheduled to take over as the second pitcher. It is expected to make his debut in the exhibition games.
