Pitched to live BP and caught Wong’s strong pitcher return near his face
On the 16th (17th Japan time), pitcher Shohei Ohtani of the Angels pitched in the actual battle format “Live BP” at the spring training held in Tempe, Arizona, USA. While he marked the fastest 98 miles (about 158 km), there were also scenes where he was disappointed by the intense pitcher return. The fans were cold sweating, saying, “I was about to stop my heart.” “I’m laughing, but we breathe in fear in front of the screen.”
It was when I played against the first batter, Wong. The split of the third ball was repelled, and the hit ball was near Otani’s face. He quickly grabbed and caught him, but the surroundings screamed. Otani appeals with a smile that there is no problem. He continued to pitch, throwing a total of 33 pitches to the seven batters. Wong said, “Oh my ger, I was about to lose my job” when he came out of the turn at bat, according to Twitter, a reporter for the Angels number Sam Bram of the American sports media “The Athletic.”
Kurt Sandval, a sports reporter for the US broadcaster “ABC7,” has released the whole story of “a close call” on Twitter. From the fans, “Oh my ger! What a sharp reaction. If I was injured, I was crying.” “I’m laughing, but be careful.” Relieved comments one after another. Mark Gubicza, an Angels commentator at Barry Sports West, also responded, “A quick reaction! I should have won the Gold Glove Award in the American League last year. I’ve been playing this way all the time last year!”
