Major League Baseball's Dodgers' player Shohei Otani held a press conference at a baseball stadium in Seoul, South Korea, where the opening series against the Padres was being held, and expressed his feelings, saying, ``I was looking forward to playing.During this period, I want to enjoy both baseball and Korea itself.'' I spoke.
The Dodgers and Padres will face off against other major league teams in the opening series in Seoul, South Korea on the 20th and 21st of this month.
On the 16th, I attended a press conference with the team's main players Betts and Freeman before the official practice at the game venue, Kochoku Sky Dome.
Otani said, ``Even in international tournaments, there are many heated matches between Japan and Korea, so I've watched them since I was little, so I have fond memories of them.I was looking forward to playing.During the tournament, I want to enjoy both baseball and Korea itself.'' I spoke.
Regarding facing Padres' opening pitcher, Yu Darvish, for the first time, he said, ``He's a pitcher I've watched and loved since I was little, and I've made it my goal to play against him. I'm really looking forward to the match," he said, looking forward to the match.
When asked about attending a game with his wife for the first time, Betts and Freeman, who were also present, called out to him, ``Come on, show!'' Otani smiled and said, ``This is the first time I've attended a game with my wife.'' So, in that sense, I think it will be a good memory.First of all, I want to focus on what I need to do.''
