it’s already hot
Japan’s World Baseball Classic (WBC) baseball team’s baseball genius and ‘superstar’ Ohtani Shohei (LA Angels) was designated hitter No. He started and wielded a strong blow.
He went 2-for-3 with 6 RBIs in front of over 36,000 fans. In particular, both hits were home runs. He struck out in his first at-bat. In the top of the 3rd inning, there were 2 outs 1st and 2nd bases, and in the 5th inning, 2 outs 1st and 2nd bases came.
In particular, he was able to make his first home run in the third inning because he did not lose his concentration until the end even when he was on his knees. He was a home run with added strength, focus and skill. Afterwards, Ohtani was replaced with a pinch hitter in the 6th inning and finished the game. The match was won by the Japanese team 8-1. 토토사이트
After the game, Ohtani said, “I wasn’t in 100% condition due to jet lag, but I had a good swing.”
Japanese players who watched Ohtani’s match were amazed. The Japanese media also extensively advertised that Ohtani was playing in Japan for the first time in about six years since the match on October 9, 2017, when he was a member of the Nippon Ham, and Ohtani performed well to meet everyone’s expectations.
Atsuki Yuasa (Hanshin), who is also representing Japan, said, “It was amazing. He was happy to watch him play,” he said.
Hiroto Saiki, a promising Hanshin pitcher who allowed Ohtani to hit three runs in the third inning, said, “It felt strange to be a home run even though my forkball landed in a good position.” In the 5th inning, Tomida Ren, who gave Ohtani a three-run four, said, “The swing speed is different. The power was great,” he said with a thumbs up.
Ohtani is already a star player not only in Japan but also in the major leagues. He is the first pitcher in 2021 to record 100 innings, 100 strikeouts, 100 hits, 100 RBIs, and 100 runs scored in the American League MVP.
Ohtani’s big success is not very welcome for Korea, which has to play the second group match against Japan on the 10th. Ohtani is expected to start as a starting pitcher against China on the 9th and as a batter against Korea on the 10th.
