[Otani Shohei, May 31st]Live BP at Dodger Stadium, with 29 balls uncut!

Dodgers pitcher Otani Shohei (30) made his second appearance in live BP since his surgery on the 31st (June 1st, Japan time), before his home game against the Yankees. Otani has not made a pitch since he transferred to the Dodgers, and this was his first time pitching from the mound at Dodger Stadium, attracting a lot of attention from the US media. He was a grounder to pitch against the first left-handed batter. Furthermore, he also sealed the second right-handed batter with a grounder and a hard ball. After giving the third batter a walk, he took a light interval and began the second inning. The four batters missed out, struck out, Yunao, hit a double in the right center field, and hit a left-handed batter. The pitching was intended for the second inning, and he looked like he was stepping up from the last time, and he also had a quick pitch in a set position halfway through. Although he had two hit hits, the 29 pitches he pitched against catcher Rushing was worth watching. In addition to fastballs against seven batters, they also pitched balls that were close to actual balls, such as sliders, splits, curves, and cut balls, and coach Roberts, Muncy, E. Hernandez, and others who inspected the ball looked out for their excitement. When dealing with ground balls, he also “twitches” his body, by catching a ball with a reverse single and imitating a jumping throw to first base. He also had a lot of expression, as he slammed the glove loudly when the slider slipped out to the outside corner against the sixth batter, and slammed the glove loudly. This is the first time in Otani’s live BP in six days since the 25th, when he went to the Mets against the enemy territory, this is the first time he’s been performing at the Mets. After the Yankees’ performance in two home runs per game on the 30th, Otani said in an interview with the broadcasting station, “We’re planning to have a live concert (BP) tomorrow. The game is over, so we’ll be in good condition for tomorrow’s live concert BP.” He declined to state clearly, saying, “I hope Andrew (Friedman, the head of the formation department) will ask him when the pitcher will return.” In his last live BP, he threw 22 pitches and hit the fastest 97 miles (approximately 156.1 km) against five batters, and scored one hit and two strikeouts.
