Major League Angels Otani First goodbye hit September 5 16:12
Shohei Otani of the major league league, Angels, played as a designated hitter in the match against Astros on the 4th and made a good-bye hit for the first time in the third year of the major league league.
On the 4th, Otani started in the Astros match against his hometown of Anaheim with a No. 4 designated hitter.
After picking the foreball in the first at-bat at one time, Otani fell to the left fly in the third at-bat in the third, and struck out to the left in the third at-bat in the fifth.
In the 6th inning with a 3-point lead, the 4th at-bat was at the chance of a 2nd out full base, but he was hit by a left fly and was 5th at 5th in the 9th inning, which was 5-5.
The game entered the tie-break in the extra game with the same score, and in the back of the 11th time, 1st out and 6th bat at the second base, faced the opponent's sixth left-handed pitcher, and was driven into three-ball and two-strike sixth ball. I caught the changing sphere and carried it in front of the light.
This allowed the second base runner to return home, becoming the first good-bye hit in the third year of the major league and the Angels winning 6-5.
Otani had 5 hits, 1 hit, 1 RBI, and one foreball, and the batting average was 10:9.
Otani said in the interview after the game about his last bat at the time, "I stood at the bat because I thought I would just make my swing. The previous bat was a nice hit, so I will keep that feeling. I was looking back."
