Shohei Ohtani’s effect makes the enemy land fluffy … “The most mobilized in the history of the ballpark” is because the “face of the ball world” has come | Full-Count

Just appearing in the bullpen before pitching makes a big cheer

■ Angels 9-1 Braves (25th Japan time, Atlanta)

[Watch the actual video]Before the pitching on the 23rd, the fans cheered just because Otani appeared in the bullpen pitching.

Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani is contributing to ticket sales in enemy territory. It is said that the number of spectators in the Braves three-game series held in Atlanta from the 22nd (23rd) to the 24th (25th) was the highest in history at the stadium that opened in 2017.

Reporter Jeff Fletcher of the Angels local newspaper “Orange County Register” reported on his Twitter account. “We sold 128,357 tickets for the three Angels-Braves games this weekend, the most in the three regular season games at the stadium,” he tweeted.

Fans responded to this by saying, “This is why the Angels don’t trade Otani,” “Wow, thanks to Otani?”, “Otani sold tickets,” and “Otani effect.”

This three-game series after the ball banquet is Otani’s first match in Atlanta. Before the match on the 22nd (23rd), when he went up to the mound with two-sword pitching, there was a strange sight that fans surrounded him just by practicing pitching with a bullpen.

The Braves also announced that the number of spectators on the 24th (25th), which was Sunday’s day game after the match, was 42,663, the sixth in history at the stadium.
