Shohei Otani hits a lot of good notes in his first batting practice after joining Samurai Japan! Fans rejoice[Super J Channel](February 27, 2026)

This is my first batting practice after joining the team. On the afternoon of the 27th, Shohei Ohtani (31) showed off his powerful batting to Japanese fans. ■Otani A powerful shot in front of the fans! Otani appeared in batting practice and made a good sound. Repeatedly jumping over the fence. The stadium roared. Fans and players alike are watching closely to see where the ball goes. In the afternoon, a bus carrying the players arrived at the stadium. A triumphant return to Nagoya for the first time in three years since the last WBC (World Baseball Classic). Fans are also looking forward to it. A fan who came to watch the game: “My daughter got me a ticket, so I’ve been really looking forward to this day. I was able to get a 3,500 yen towel. Although it was a little expensive.” “The fact that I can watch it live… I can’t interact with the players, so I want to watch it live. I’m so excited. We’re breathing the same air.” Some fans are so nervous that they act strangely… Fans who came to watch the game: “I was really surprised to see them in front of me.It really burned into my eyes, and I want to remember it until the day I die.” “I thought I’d go to Aeon now, trying to forget.” “I was trying to forget, but I’m too nervous.” “If I don’t leave (the stadium) like this, I’ll get a little nervous.” “My heart isn’t strong, so I’m going to cool down.” On the 27th, he went to the stadium wearing a T-shirt with the word “JAPAN” written on it. Her hair is in a slightly wavy style. I hear the shrieks of fans. Otani did not appear in the game on the 27th, but appeared in the warm-up. Although there are no plans for pitchers to appear in this tournament, there will be some serious pitching. Dragons fans also point their cameras at the scene. It’s not just the fans who are excited. Seiya Suzuki (31) “I’m also very happy to be able to watch him play up close.It’s also very gratifying to be on the same team and fight to get to the top, so I want to work together and do my best.” Kaito Kozono (25) of Hiroshima, the Central League’s top hitter last season, met Otani for the first time. Kaito Kozono (25) “(Q. Are you joining up with Otani and Yoshida?) I saw it on TV, so it’s different. Being in the locker together is not normal in itself.” WBC starts on the 5th of next month. There’s less than a week left until the fierce battle.
