■ Angels Guardians (27th Japan time, Anaheim)
Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani will start in the match once morest the Guardians on the 26th (Japan time 27th, 10:38) with “No. 2 Designated Hitter”. Before the match, he made a free hit outdoors and recorded 15 fence crossings with 33 swings. He also had an estimated 140 meter bullet to the right of the back screen.
To the right to the left. Otani drew a dynamic parabola. 3 barrages in the final set. In the final swing, an estimated 140-meter bullet was shot to the right of the back screen, and Rendon and other colleagues gave a startling voice, “Oh!”.
Otani hasn’t hit outdoors since the home run derby on the day before last year’s All-Star match. During the official match, since the opening match with the White Sox on April 1st last year, most of the recent practice has been in indoor batter cages. Will he jump out of a slump escape following a long absence in the outdoors?
