Shohei Ohtani of the Major League Baseball Angels participated in the last open game before the opening on the 30th as the second designated hitter and had one hit in two at bats.

Otani is scheduled to play as a batter in the opening game on the 1st of next month, maintaining a good batting average of over 50%.

On the 30th, Otani started as the second designated hitter in the final open match against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.



In the first at-bat of the first inning, the 159-kilometer sharply curved sinker thrown by the opponent's starting pitcher Dustin May was repelled in front of the center and hit.



In the second at bat of the third inning, Otani fell to the second at bat, and Otani had one hit in two at bats in this game.



On the other hand, as a pitcher aiming to recover from an injury to his right elbow, he threw 10 innings and one-third innings in four open games, 14 goals, and an ERA of 12.19.



However, the straight has returned to its strength, marking 164km at the fastest, and it will be watched whether it can play a role throughout the season as a part of the starting rotation.



Otani will play as a batter in the opening game at his home base on the 1st of next month, and will be the first pitcher to start in the game on the 4th of next month.
