Shohei Ohtani of the Major League Baseball Angels practiced batting against pitchers for two days in a row at the camp on the 18th.
He is scheduled to participate in the open game for the first time on the 19th with "No. 2 Designated Hitter".
The Angels were the first match of the open match on the 18th, but since the first match of the athletics match was a match at the opponent's campsite, Otani and Trout players did not accompany the main players and proceeded with adjustments at the campsite. ..
Continuing from the previous day, Otani practiced batting against the pitcher in a practical manner, and last season, he played against Suarez, a left-handed pitcher who won eight wins after Otani in the team, in three at-bats.
There was also a scene in which Otani fell into a short ground ball in the first and second at-bats and showed regret, saying "Home run ball!".
In the third at bat, I saw off five balls in a row and confirmed the trajectory of the ball, and it became a foreball.
Otani's first open match will be as a batter, and he will play in the Diamondbacks match at the Angels camp on the 19th as "No. 2 Designated Hitter".
As a pitcher, the Royals match on the 21st will be the first pitching in the open match, and we will proceed with full-scale dual wield adjustments toward the start of the season on the 7th next month.
