Dodgers manager Dave Roberts (53) announced on the 17th (18th Japan time) that pitcher Shohei Ohtani (31) will pitch in the game against the Giants on the 18th (19th Japan time). “Today I threw it in the bullpen to get a feel for it, and then I’ll pitch again tomorrow,” he said. Regarding the number of innings and pitches he plans to pitch, he said, “I haven’t decided on anything in particular, but considering the live BP so far, I think 3 to 4 innings is appropriate.” He then said, “We’re going to do what we can in the time we have left to prepare him for the season.He did what he was supposed to do as a member of the Japan national team.Right now, we’re going to build up in practice and finish as much as possible before the season starts.” Sponichi Annex delivering the latest news https://www.sponichi.co.jp/ Sponichi Photo and Video Department’s X (old Twitter) https://x.com/Sponichi_Photo Sponichi Photo and Video Department’s Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sponichiphoto_official?igsh=MWVyZmZzcGpvNmsycA== Sponichi’s X (former Twitter) https://twitter.com/sponichiannex #Shohei Otani #Dodgers #Dual Wielding
