MLB Angels Shohei Otani Two-base hit in match format July 12, 14:40
On the 11th, Shohei Otani of the big league, Angels, played a pitching match against a pitcher in a practice format during camp practice and made a two-base hit.
Otani is planning to fully recover from the surgery on his right elbow in this season, and will play again with the double-dart style of throwing, and both adjustments are being made toward the opening game on the 24th of this month.
On the 11th day of the 9th day of the camp, we played against the pitcher in a match format and made a two-base hit to the left in the first bat. After that, the at-bats were a first goro, a short goro, and a strikeout that he missed.
On the other hand, as a pitcher, I was slowing down the pace of adjustment because I had tension on my waist after pitching in the Red and White match on 7th of this month, but on this day I practiced a light pitching practice with a bullpen before standing at the bat. I threw 37 balls with a curve and a slider.
Otani said through the team, “I'm getting better every day. I felt good today, so I threw it. I asked my coach to hit me, and my body was in good shape. I saw it."
Otani will soon be pitching again in actual battle.
