[Otani Shohei, March 5th]”New and new” sliding practice!! The night before, new slurred was unstoppable, and trial and error continued.

Dodgers pitcher Otani Shohei (30) showed off a new style of sliding on the 5th (6th Japan time). During the spring training that day, after doing one regular slide, I practiced three new slides in which I placed my left hand behind my hips. I tried to improve it. At this camp, we have improved the sliding that caused the left shoulder dislocation in the World Series last fall. He has continued to practice by securing his left hand in front of his chest, but on this day it seems he has been continuing to try and error, trying out a new style that is placed behind his waist. In the exhibition game against the Reds on the 4th (5th of the same year), when he hit a hit to the right field line, he kicked first base and slid to second base. At this point, he was unsure whether to do a new slide without putting his left hand on, and as he slowed down a little, he was hit by a return ball from right fielder Freary and was touched out. He also saw a scene where he played alongside legendary left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw (36).
