The fierce battle for the home run king also said, “I’ll let you walk when you get two balls at the next at bat.”
On the 25th (26th Japan time), pitcher Shohei Ohtani of the Angels started in the game against Mariners at his home base with “No. 2 Designated Hitter”, and made a rampage of 3 at bats, 2 hits and 3 RBIs including the first right wing line timely triple. showed. He also chose 2 walks, and 13 walks in 4 games was the fourth major tie record in history. It is in a historic walk, but on the other hand, Otani makes me feel a mental leeway. I unraveled it from the testimony of a good friend Batboy and a colleague.[Maya Kotani]

There is no tense air. Somehow a peaceful atmosphere was transmitted. 5th non-death first base greeted in 11-1. Otani picked a straight walk from his left arm, Shefield, and slammed the batboy’s head in a playful manner. And a gentle smile. I don’t feel any frustration from Otani. It’s been a familiar fucking kid since the NPB era.
It was Steve Pard, a bat boy, who turned Otani into a smile. A 21-year-old student from Anaheim, who has been working at the clubhouse since 2019. Iglesias (currently Red), who was said to be a “buddy” after Otani hit a home run, said, “Because both Shohei and I like anime, we can get along with each other even on small topics. I like being around him.” There was also a scene where I made a high five earlier than Sox). It is said that there was such an exchange in the game on the 24th (25th), which was 4 walks per game.
In the 7th inning to chase 2 points, Otani walked on a walk. After that, he told Mr. Pald, “I’ll let you walk when you get two balls at the next at bat.” The prophecy is right. 9 times 1 death chasing 1 point. Even though there was no runner, he was shunned when he got two balls.
