Shohei Otani missed the DH and took the mound after being hit by a pitch near his right shoulder. However, it was his 161kmh fastball and 115kmh curve that dispelled his concerns. A super slow curve after a fastball. Furthermore, he played with the Mets batting lineup by using both sweeper and splitter. 6 innings, 2 hits, 1 run, 10 strikeouts. An ESPN commentator raved, “It’s like watching Yu Darvish in his prime.” Even with his dual wielding ability sealed away, he still displayed an overwhelming presence. #Shohei Otani #Dodgers #Mets game #Yu Darvish #MLB[Song provided by: Minowa Records]
