Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani pitched for the first time this season in an open game against the Athletics in Mesa, Arizona, fifth (Japan’s sixth half). In the first 2/3, 5 strikeouts, 2 walks, 3 hits and 1 run. The fastest of the four seams was 100 miles. Joe Maddon said: “I think the way of throwing is more stable. The swing of the arm is better. That comes first, and then you can regain the speed of the past. Great division. The key to your success is Repeat the way of throwing (correct) and steady the fastball. If he can, I think he’s on his way. “

Otani missed the first lead, Kanha, with a four seam and struck out. Andras doubled the left wing line, but struck out Olson with a 100-mile fastball on a four-seam strikeout. At 2nd, 1st and 2nd base, Moreland was struck out with a split. In the second inning, he allowed Kemp to double down right middle from 1st and 2nd base, but struck out Kanha with a split at the same 2nd base. The number of balls is 41 (24 strikes). It was a pitch that took all the outs with a strikeout. Madon said: “He was calm. (Catcher) Suzuki also coached him well and they were able to communicate both on the mound and in the doug out. It was a good first step. The pitching was good. I can’t even emphasize it.”

Otani was found to have a muscle injury to his right forearm after the game against the Astros, the home point guard on August 2 (3) last year. After that, he devoted himself to hitting, pitching two games, 0 wins and 1 loss, and finished with a 37.80 ERA. He clocked the fastest 100 miles (approximately 161 km) in the camp’s second live BP (actual throwing practice) on February 27 (28). It was the first time in Japan and the United States that Odai crossed during the camp. It was the first time in 215 days to launch the actual battle on this day. Otani recalls: “The number of balls was thrown firmly, and throwing with a runner on the back can only be done in real battles. I think that was good too. The ladder was good and the split was good” …
