Shohei Ohtani of the Major League Baseball Angels hit a home run for two at-bats in a row in the open game on the 15th.
Otani started as a pitcher in the open game on March 13th, and started in the open game against the Reds in Arizona on the 15th as the second designated hitter.
Otani repelled a fastball with a higher out course from the starting right pitcher in the first at bat of the first inning, and hit the first solo home run to the left stand.
In the second at-bat three times, he hit a solo home run that carried the sweetly changed ball of the same pitcher to the left stand again, making it a home run for two at-bats in a row.
The third turn at bat in the 5th inning was a strikeout.
In this game, Otani became a hit in 6 consecutive games with batters with 2 hits and 2 RBIs in 3 at bats including 2 home runs, and the batting average in the open game continues to be strong with 50% 6 minutes 3 hits and 3 home runs.
Otani "The feeling of standing at bat is better than the result."
After the match, Otani said, "I felt like I hit the first at bat lightly, but I'm glad I got into the stand firmly. For the second at bat, I went straight through the curve that came to get the count. I'm glad I had a different home run for both of them. "
On top of that, he said about the good batting, "I can judge the strike and the ball, so I think it feels better to be standing at bat than the result."
Otani, who is making adjustments to the dual wield revival of pitching, is planning to pitch for the third time as a pitcher in the open game with the Padres on March 21st.
