1. The impact of the No. 21 leadoff hitter’s bullet immediately after announcing that he would avoid pitching – Proof through play, not words: Immediately after the worrying news that he was avoiding the starting pitching due to inflammation in his left knee and withdrawing from the All-Star Game, he suddenly hit his second consecutive home run (his 8th of the season) as the leadoff batter in his first at-bat of the first inning, proving that he is still alive and well. – Mental blow to the opponent: A home run by the leadoff batter that takes away control of the game from the first pitch instills more fear in the opposing pitcher and the entire team than just numbers. 2. Technical evaluation: Incredible technique to carry the inside ball in the opposite direction – From a batter’s perspective (Mr. Papi’s analysis): – The fact that all of his recent home runs have gone toward left field (in the opposite direction) is proof that Otani is in extremely good condition. – The “inside corner ball” that I hit this time is a difficult course for a normal left-handed batter to either get stuck or pull it, resulting in a foul. This is the only technology in the world that allows you to carry it to the left stand, which is the farthest away, instead of pulling it by force. – From a pitcher’s perspective (Mr. Maddux’s analysis): When an “inside pitch” aimed at attacking the batter’s pocket and killing his power is turned into a home run in the opposite direction, the opposing pitcher experiences such despair that he “lose’s place to throw.” 3. Inflammation management of the left knee and the rationale for withdrawing from pitching and pitching – The importance of the stepping foot (left knee) in pitching: – For Otani, a right-handed pitcher, his left knee is the “base of ball speed and control (stepping foot)”, which is subjected to a load many times his body weight when landing. – If he continues to pitch with concerns about his knee, his form will go awry and this could lead to serious injuries to other parts of his body, such as his shoulder or elbow, so his decision to avoid pitching this time is considered an extremely wise decision for the second half of the game. – Controlling technique to avoid anxiety: If you feel uncomfortable in any part of your body, you tend to unconsciously try to protect yourself in your swing and your batting goes awry, but Otani has shown an extremely rare ability to completely separate and control his swing technique from anxiety about his physical condition. 4. The value of mastery and dual-wielding to reach the 350th Japan-US total – Passing point to the 350th Japan-US total: This work is the 349th Japan-US total, and there is only one more to go. – Numbers that go beyond the common sense of adjustment: The fact that he has amassed such numbers as a big hitter (349 home runs) while also winning 47 games as a pitcher proves his ability to manage his physical condition, use his practice time efficiently, and have an unusually high attitude towards baseball. ■About the production policy for this video (Important) The videos on this channel are original content that focuses on audio commentary, structure, and discussion.
