Angels Otani 5th, nominated hitter, no hit 3 strikeouts September 5 15:30
Major League Baseball Angels Shohei Otani participated in the athletics game on the 4th with No. 5 designated batter and was 3 hits without hit.
Otani was expected to play a role in the runners this season, and the third position following Mike Trout, who had the highest output rate, was in position.
However, in the athletics match held in Auckland, the opponent's home base on the 4th, due to poor batting, the batting order was lowered and was appointed as the 5th designated batter.
Otani played against the starting right pitcher, and the first bat at the first time was a two-out two-and-three-chall chance of swinging fast on the fastball.
The 3rd 2nd bats were hit by the catcher's hitting blockage, and the 6th 3rd batted was a fast-paced strikeout.
The 8th bat at the 8th was changed up to the third person's right pitcher.
Otani played 3 strikeouts in this game and ended in 3 hits with no hits.
In the match, Angels lost to Athletics 0-4 and lost three consecutive games.
