The third bullpen throw at the Angels Otani camp The ball speeds up March 12 at 12:50
In the Major League, Shohei Otani, an angel who is aiming to return as a pitcher, practiced his third camp with a bullpen on the 2nd camp, increasing the number of balls and increasing the ball speed from the previous time.
Otoya, who had a right elbow surgery in October, will return as a pitcher around mid-May, aiming to play again with a two-sword style.
At the Angels camp in Arizona, Otani practiced his third camp with a bullpen on the 2nd and threw 47 balls, six more than before.
Otani had 10 curves, three sliders, and five fork balls, and he increased the number of changing balls, and when the fork ball was decided on a lower course, he nodded greatly and showed a convincing expression.
The fastball last time was thrown with about 80% of the power and the fastest was 135 km, but on this day the adjustment stage was advanced at 141 km.
Otani said, "It was not bad overall. I do not throw hundreds of balls like in Japan, so I feel like I will increase the strength of the fastball and the accuracy of the changing ball in that." .
