Shohei Otani’s live BP surprised Samurai Japan’s batters. During a practice session held in Miami, he threw 59 pitches against 18 batters, resulting in two hits and seven strikeouts. Yuhei Nakamura, who received pitches as a catcher and also stood at bat, expressed his surprise, saying, “It’s a level you can’t experience in Japan,” and “There’s no pitcher in Japan who throws pitches like this.” Kaito Kozono also commented, “The ball is heavy,” “The curve is large,” and “The sharpness is different.” Moreover, this is not a match, but a live BP. It is said that there is a possibility that the gear will go up even further in the actual performance. Shohei Otani’s pitching left even the Samurai Japan players speechless. His ability may already exceed what is common knowledge in Japan. #Shohei Otani #Samurai Japan #WBC #MLB #Baseball[Song provided by: Minowa Records]
