On the 19th, pitcher Shintaro Fujinami of the Major League Athletics practiced pitching in the bullpen for the second time at the camp, and Shohei Otani of the Angels adjusted in indoor training.
Pitcher Fujinami, who transferred from professional baseball Hanshin to Major League Athletics, practiced pitching in the bullpen for the second time at a camp in Mesa, Arizona on the 19th.
In the bullpen, he threw 48 pitches, 8 more pitches than last time, with no windup and set position, while coach Kotzei and pitching coach Emerson watched.
On this day, the control was uneven and there were some balls that came out, but I threw all types of pitches, such as splits, sliders, and cut balls, mainly straights. If you can control the ball, you will be able to control the ball, so if you keep practicing until you reach that point, you will get better.”
Pitcher Fujinami is scheduled to throw a batter against a batter in practice on the 23rd.
Angels Otani Light adjustment indoors
On the other hand, Ohtani of the Angels did not practice batting or play catch outdoors, and instead trained indoors for about three hours at a campsite in Tempe, Arizona, finishing with light adjustments.
The Angels will start the whole camp practice from the 20th with the fielder group joining.
