Field players have been joining the Dodgers camp in Glendale, Arizona since the 14th.



Otani took to the field just after 10 a.m. and warmed up with the players who had just joined him.



This was the first time that Otani was seen practicing with his teammates, as he had been doing his own training so far in camp due to rehabilitation for his right elbow, which he had surgery on last year, and he occasionally smiled and talked with the players. I was there.



After 11 a.m., he participated in free batting, and while the fielders and pitcher Yamamoto looked on, he hit 10 home runs out of 29 swings, including five consecutive big hits that went over the outfield fence. I did.

Otani wears the wrong hat, shows an embarrassed smile and replaces it

During Otani's warm-up that day, a team staff member pointed out that he was wearing the wrong hat, and in an unusual scene, he showed an embarrassed smile and replaced it.



For several days after entering camp, Ohtani practiced wearing a regular hat with the "LA" logo on it, which he also wears during the season, while other players, including pitcher Yamamoto, wore the Dodgers' "D" hat. He was wearing a specially designed camping hat with the logo on it.



On this day, when the fielders met up and the whole team practiced, Otani was the only player practicing wearing a hat with the "LA" logo during warm-ups, and the team staff noticed this and gave him a "D" I went to gently hand over the hat with the ' logo on it.



Otani quickly replaced his hat with a shy smile, which made his teammates feel at ease.

Pitcher Yamamoto pitches to the Dodgers' regular catcher for the first time.

Pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto entered the bullpen for the third time in this camp, two days after the last time.



It was the first time for Dodgers regular catcher Will Smith, who played in a team-high 111 games as a catcher last season, to receive pitcher Yamamoto's ball. In addition to his fastballs, pitcher Yamamoto showed off his unique variety of breaking balls, including split balls, curveballs, sliders, and cut balls, and he threw 44 pitches, 10 more pitches than last time.



Smith was also seen saying things like ``nice'' while catching, and after practice they spoke for about 5 minutes with the help of an interpreter.



Although Otani did not appear as he was participating in the fielders' general practice that began on that day, many of his bullpen staff members, including Head of Staff Friedman, Manager Roberts, and his pitching teammates, were in attendance, making him the first pitcher in the major leagues. He was intently watching pitcher Yamamoto, who signed a 12-year contract worth $325 million, the highest in history.
