Starter in the home base Athletics game with “No. 1 Designated Hitter”
■ Angels Athletics (Open match, 29th Japan time, Tempe)
Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani started on the 28th (29th Japan time) as the “No. 1 designated hitter” in the athletics match held at his home base. He hit the first at-bat for the first time in two games and was on base for four games in a row.
In the first 0-1 first, Blackburn’s first ball was vividly repelled to make a right front shot. The first batter bullet in the White Sox match held on the 26th (27th) in the enemy territory. He was a play ball bullet that captured the first ball curve of Velázquez on his right arm. In the game against the Giants on the 27th (28th of the same day) the day before, he started as “No. 1 Designated Hitter” and ended up with 2 at bats and 2 walks, but he made a good sound for the first time in 2 games.
It is showing good results toward the “dual wield” in the Astros game on April 7 (8th) when it was announced that he will serve as the first opening pitcher in the fifth year of the major.
