Angels Otani 4th ball in the second appearance, 2 games consecutive start off September 2, 10:24
Major League Baseball Angels Shohei Otani was out of the starting team for two consecutive games, and played in the Red Sox match on the 1st, making a foreball.
Otani had no hits for 12 consecutive bats, and was out of the starting team for 2 consecutive matches in the Red Sox game.
Angels coach Brad Augustus explained at a pre-match interview that he had removed him from the starting team in order to give Otani time and mental space to correct his batting.
Otani was appointed as a substitute for the 6th, 2 out, and 2nd out in which Angels chased 2 points.
Otani has only one batting bat and the batting average is 20%, 9 minutes. In the match, Angels lost 3x4 to Red Sox.
Otani talks about bad batting, “I can't swing myself. I want to make a good swing in my own shape by hitting a sweet ball firmly”.
On the other hand, before the game, Otani performed pitching with the bullpen for the 14th time after the operation of the right elbow, and threw 29 fastballs against the manager, Osmouth, who served as the catcher.
