Regarding the Angels player Shohei Otani, who will return as a pitcher from his right elbow surgery this season in the Major League Baseball, Joe Maddon has announced that he will be in starting rotation from the opening day on the 14th. Otani will be playing with two swords from the beginning of this month 24th.

Otani had an operation on his right elbow in October in Otoshito, which was in the first year of the Major League Baseball, and last season he played only as a batter in the game, and has been promoting rehabilitation as a pitcher.

At the camp for the opening, we are making adjustments by climbing twice in the red and white game and starting.

Regarding Mr. Otani, Angels coach Maddon said in a press conference on the 14th, "I will start the rotation from the beginning. I plan to use it once a week as before," he will return from the opening as the starting pitcher. I made it clear.

He added, "I do not play the day before pitching and the day after pitching at this time," and stated that he would follow the method of using a man who devotes himself to preparations on the day before pitching and uses it for recovery the day after pitching.

By being appointed as the starting pitcher from the start of the season, Otani will be returning with the two-handed technique of pitching, which is Otsutoshi's first year in the Major League.
