Braves female Japanese fourth generation Okuno “Otani is a player of the first generation”
Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani started on the 23rd (24th Japan time) against Braves in the enemy territory with “No. 1 Designated Hitter” and released No. 20 solo in the 5th inning. Season 20 is the third time in a row for two years. It was the second consecutive Japanese player since Hideki Matsui, but it was a couple of Braves fan Nikkei IV Erin Okno and Dan Nelson who caught this home run ball.
Otani’s “ultra-low bullet” flew while watching the game at the restaurant bar on the right wing. Okuno, who caught the ball rolling at his feet, was delighted to jump. She’s a genuine Braves girl in the Atlanta Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz’s uniform, but she said she had foretold a catch before the match.
“I’m a Braves fan, but I was telling him that if Otani hit a home run, he would get the ball. It’s crazy.”
“Otani is an incredible player. He’s a first-generation player. I don’t want him to hit a home run (as a Braves fan), but if he does, he’ll definitely get it. I can’t believe it’s happened.”
