In the Major League Baseball, which starts on April 1, Angels Shohei Ohtani will be on the first mound of the season against the White Sox on the 4th.
According to the team's announcement, Otani will be on the mound as a starting pitcher in the White Sox match in Los Angeles on April 4th.
Otani spent most of the season devoting himself to the batter, having pitched only two games as a pitcher due to an injury to his right elbow last season.
At this camp, we have been making good adjustments to both throwing and hitting, and as a batter, we are doing well with a batting average of 50% 7/1 and 5 home runs in the open game.
As a pitcher, he pitched in three games, and although his ERA was 7.88, he was not able to leave a result, but he has regained his original power by throwing eight innings and stealing 14 strikeouts.
On the 29th, he will pitch in the open game against the Dodgers, the world champion of last season, and will also participate as a batter.
This season's Angels, where Otani will return to rotation as a pitcher, will face with a system of six starting pitchers, which is unusual in the major leagues.
