[Special Commentary]Shohei Otani’s spectacular six scoreless innings! Clemens talks about the abnormality. His defensive rating is a threatening 0.38. Big Papi cheers on the Dodgers reliever who ruined the game.

[Thorough explanation from an MLB legend]Shohei Ohtani’s amazing pitching with no runs allowed in the 6th inning resulted in an unexpected loss for the Dodgers… What was the shocking ending that awaited us at the end? The stage was Oracle Park in San Francisco. MLB legends thoroughly dissect Game 2 of the three-game series between the Giants and the Dodgers, in which undefeated ace Shohei Ohtani took the mound so far this season. The commentary team is super luxurious. Roger Clemens, a great pitcher known as “The Rocket,” won the Cy Young Award seven times, the most in history. Alex Rodriguez is a three-time MVP and has a total of 696 home runs. and three-time World Series champion “Big Papi” David Ortiz. Each will take a deep dive into Otani’s pitching from different angles: pitcher’s perspective, data analysis, and batter psychology. The match started with a shocking start. The outlaw missed the leadoff batter with one straight shot and struck him out. Chapman then struck out with a sweeper. Clemens said that the moment he saw Chapman’s body lean against the sweeper near the middle of the first pitch, he was convinced that “Today’s sharpness was real.” Otani’s curveball has evolved from his previous sweeping sweeper that slides horizontally to a slider-like trajectory that also falls sharply and vertically. Clemens analyzed this based on his own experience as an active player, saying, “The strain on the elbow has clearly been reduced.This is the optimal solution that a pitcher who has undergone surgery has come up with after facing his own body.” From the 4th inning onwards, you can’t miss the scene where Otani, who had been pushing left-handed batters almost straight, began to weave in curveballs after seeing the batter’s reaction. Clemens says, “The most terrifying thing for a batter is a pitcher who knows what’s coming but can’t hit.” The legend’s words clearly highlight Otani’s amazing ability to maintain his ultimate state until the sixth inning. What caught Alex’s attention was the dedication of catcher Will Smith. By being persistent in his at-bats and using the number of pitches he pitched to create time, he was able to give Ohtani, who will take the mound in the next inning, time to rest as much as possible. “I prioritize the team’s victory over my own individual results.” This is a sharp point that gets at the essence of the Dodgers’ current strength. Ortiz praised Smith’s high ABS challenge success rate. He calmly assesses the critical moments in his battles with the batter and decides to take on the challenge in the most important situation. Although it doesn’t show up in the numbers, he passionately says that it’s a huge job supporting the pitcher from behind. However, what decided this match was the ending that no one expected. Immediately after Ohtani got off the mound with no runs in the 6th inning, reliever Dreyer was hit with a three-run hit. The final score was 3-0, an unexpected loss for the Dodgers. Ortiz criticizes the bullpen without hesitation, saying, “The soul that was put into Shohei’s six innings was completely destroyed in one inning.” Alex, on the other hand, counters from a neutral standpoint. “If a batter continues to watch that sharp ball for six innings, the next pitcher’s ball looks like he can hit it.” It’s not a game where the relievers can be blamed unilaterally,” he says, defending the phenomenon as a result of Otani being on a different level. Although they did not win, Otani’s pitching was definitely memorable as a game that symbolized this season. The Dodgers will be looking for a win in Game 3 tomorrow. The evolution of pitcher Shohei Otani and its impact on team tactics, told from three different perspectives.
