Shohei Ohtani, who is aiming to recover from an injury to his right elbow in the Major League Baseball Angels, practiced pitching with a bullpen for the second time at the camp on the 21st.
Otani finished two games as a pitcher last season and was diagnosed with a muscle injury near his right elbow in August, so he devoted himself to the batter after that.
This season, we are making adjustments at a camp in Arizona aiming for a dual wield revival of pitching, and on the 21st, we practiced pitching with a bullpen for the second time.
Otani threw 39 balls including the changing ball, and the number of balls increased by 12 from the first bullpen three days ago last time.
On this day as well, I was wearing a device to measure the load on my elbows on my right arm, and I could see many nods after I finished throwing.
After this, Otani did weight training for about an hour and did not practice batting.
In addition, Angels said that Wise coach, who was a pitcher coach at this camp, tested positive for the new coronavirus on the 20th, but all other players and staff, including Otani, were negative.
In Angels, fielders other than catchers will join from the 22nd and the whole practice will start.
