[Otani Shohei, March 6th]A catch ball before the exhibition game, with multiple hits in the match!!

Dodgers pitcher Otani Shohei (30) started in the exhibition game against the Rangers on the 6th (7th Japan time) as the No. 1 DH. In the first inning, former Yakult pitcher David Buchanan (35) hit a left field double for the fourth consecutive exhibition game. He also hit a hit in his fourth at-bat, making his first multi-hit hit in his fourth appearance in the exhibition game, and was substituted with two hits in four at-bats. This brings his batting average to .417. He showed that he has been making good adjustments to the opening match of Japan with the Cubs. In the first inning, he was counted 2-2 and then he didn’t go against a 90.4 mile (approximately 145.4 km) cut ball that looked like a ball on the outside, but instead repelled the left field line, and leisurely reached second base. After one out, Freeman hit a flying ball to left center to judgement. He plunged third base on a sliding trip. Next, No. 4 T. Hernandez’s grounder to third base caused the opponent to throw an error, causing Otani to take the lead. He dropped out in his second and third at-bats. In his first at-bat in the exhibition game, he was in his fourth at-bat in the sixth inning with two outs and no runners. He caught the second pitch from the first ball at 91 miles (approximately 146.4 km) sinker against left-hander Pennington, and the ball hit bounced in front of left. He showed off his first base coach Woodward and head bumps this spring, and was sent off as a pinch runner. After the match, coach Dave Roberts mentioned Otani’s future appearances. He revealed that he will be moving to Japan in the match against the White Sox on the 8th, the Diamondbacks on the 10th, and the match against the Guardians on the 11th. First base coach Woodward, who performed Otani’s first head bump for the season, jokingly commented, “I had a concussion (lol).” “That was good. I was ready, but he forgot, and he said, ‘What are you doing? “(That was how it was). So we finally got to start something new. That was something we did last year, so we want to find out what we’ll do (this season),” he said, showing his enthusiasm for the new performance. When asked if this might have been the first and last time, he replied, “I might do it again in the next few days. I’ll do something new in the season. Until then, I’ll be head bumping.” When asked what he was going to head, he laughed, “It’s okay.” We bring you the latest news Sponichi Annex https://www.sponichi.co.jp/ Sponichi Photography and Video Club’s X (formerly Twitter) https://x.com/Sponichi_Photo Sponichi Photography and Video Club’s Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sponichiphoto_official?igsh=MWVyZmZzcGpvNmsycA== Sponichi’s X (formerly Twitter) https://twitter.com/sponichiannex
