Mr. Sabathia who calls himself “Otani’s number one fan” “I have a foot on the ground as a pitcher”
CC Sabathia, who has played for the Indians, Brewers and Yankees for a total of 19 years and has won a total of 251 wins, is known as a “big fan” of pitcher Shohei Ohtani of the Angels. He watched the Angels match at the Indians home on the 20th (21st Japan time). He talks about “Ai Otani” again.
According to the MLB official website, Mr. Sabathia said, “When I first saw him play, I said he was the best player I’ve ever seen. The world was upset when I heard that, but that level. No one can do anything like him. It’s amazing to see his play, “praised Otani. “I watch him every time he starts. I live on the East Coast so I have to set a timer to watch the broadcast, but probably his number one fan is me,” he said. I revealed that.
He talked about the shock of seeing Otani live for the first time two years ago. “Speed, that size. I didn’t realize that until 2019, when I saw him in person. There’s nothing he can’t do. I’ve never seen a pitch live. I watched it many times on TV. As a pitcher, I’m getting on the ground. If I don’t get injured, I’ll be a special person for years to come. ” I also “predicted” that it would continue.
“Otani Hymn” does not stop there. “He’s doing what the boys yearn for. He’s literally playing in Little League on the stage of Major League Baseball.” On the world’s highest stage, he sent a compliment to Otani, who has outstanding performance in both throwing and hitting.
However, he also said, “(If you’re in the heyday) you can beat him, no doubt. I’m attacking with a two-seam to the internal angle and a slider.” He took a pride in winning the Cy Young Award in 2007 and the most wins in 2009 & 2010.
