[Peoria (Arizona, EE. UU.) 21º (22º tiempo de Japón) = Yoshihiro Saito]The angels Shohei Ohtani (26) fully demonstrated their presence in the first great “royal double wield”. He started the Padres game with “No. 1 pitcher.” He had 2 hits in 2 at bat, like hitting the middle front in the first at-bat. He pitched 4 innings, 2 hits, 1 run and 5 strikeouts. In the third inning, he measured 101.9 miles (about 164 km), which is the fastest in the major leagues. Real double wielding performed by repeating dialogue with director Madon, who is not bound by stereotypes when considering condition. The open game batting average has risen to 60%, 3 minutes and 6 minutes, marking the fastest of the majors. Otani is finally on board.

Does the body really have it in the 162-game season? The black band made by Motors, which Otani now wears on his right elbow during camp practice, “visualizes” the load on his body numerically and works to prevent breakdowns. In February of last year, the company was acquired by the “Driveline” baseball training facility, which performs data analysis, and merged. Mr. Kazunari Yagi, who is in charge of the product, explained the advantage: “You can design the training firmly to the limit of the safety area while observing the arm tension numerically.

The concept is that the cause of the failure is largely due to the accumulation of charge. According to Mr. Yagi, “Motors’s conclusion was that there was no evidence of foam injury in the study. Rather, the cause was one more entry despite being tired, or a small forcibly ligament (the ligament it grew and sold out. There is a lot of evidence for that. “

With the system introduced in 27 of the top 30 baseball teams, fatigue accumulation is calculated based on daily load (workload). Gradually increase load to peak in season. If so, the current Otani is also in the pre-peak stage. Mr. Yagi said forcefully: “Otani, who has been aiming for safe and step-by-step performance improvement while monitoring workload, has a good chance of achieving the highest performance ever.”

It is not surprising that he has surpassed 165 km, the fastest of the season. The key to the full rebirth of the double wield is the status as a pitcher. By avoiding the risk of failure, you create a virtuous circle of pitches.[Cargo de MLB = Yoshihiro Saito]
