Shohei Otani’s “unexpected series” at bat caused laughter overseas

Shohei Ohtani’s fourth at-bat against the Mets has become a hot topic. Immediately after identifying a low inside angle, an unexpected check ball landed near his helmet. Catcher Alvarez followed suit, and Ohtani also showed a wry smile. But right after that, with just a few minutes remaining on the pitch clock, catcher Alvarez suddenly ran to the mound in time. The timing coincided with Kimbrel, who was already in the pitching motion, and the ball flew out from behind Otani, who was completely concentrating. This series of “chaotic at-bats”, including the wide-eyed reactions, became a hot topic on social media. It was a scene that once again conveyed the greatness of Shohei Otani, his ability to respond without faltering even in the face of shaky developments. #Shohei Otani #Otani #Baseball
