Shohei Ohtani Is “I’m going to take a ball banquet” really? Pros and cons of participating in All-Star & HR Derby | Full-Count

All-Star & HR Derby is also honored … D Army is a battle that can not be defeated to advance to PO

Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani ranked second in the American League DH category in the first fan vote to decide the starting fielder for the All-Star game on June 30 (1st Japan time), and the final vote from the 5th to the 8th. I decided to advance. If it is selected for the second consecutive year following last year, it will be selected multiple times following Ichiro (10 times) and Hideki Matsui (2 times) in the Japanese fielder.

All-stars and HR Derby are honors. Not wrong at all. Otani also vowed to inspire, “I have to do my best to be selected as an all-star.” However, on the other hand, he also mentioned the idea of ​​prioritizing the season. He said, “It depends on where you throw it during the season. It will change a little depending on the schedule.”

Of course, I would like to see the dynamic appearance among the superstars. However, the team in 3rd place in the district is behind the postseason by 4.5 games. Furthermore, considering that the number of HRs could not be increased as expected in the second half of the season last season when he was fighting for a home run. Fans’ opinions may be divided, but it’s complicated.

“This summer will be an all-star break.”
