Major League Angels Otani Bullpen pitch for the first time in a month April 18 15:18
Shohei Otani of the big league, Angels, practiced pitching in a bullpen for the first time in about a month, which had been interrupted due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
Otani was making adjustments to return to the pitcher's return from his right elbow surgery this season, and he had practiced pitching with a bullpen six times in a team camp held in Arizona until last month.
After the camp was interrupted in the middle of last month due to the spread of the new coronavirus, I am practicing at the baseball stadium in Anaheim, California. It means that I practiced pitching in.
It means that he entered the bullpen on the 17th, which opened three days in the middle, and threw only 15 fastballs each.
Although each team has closed the facility due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the players aiming to recover from injury and the staff in charge are allowed to use the stadium, and Otani continues to practice pitching under these conditions. .
In the major leagues, it is not possible to predict when the season will start, and Otani's practice contents for returning to the pitcher will be decided according to the situation.
