■ Angels 2-1 Rangers (5th Japan time, Arlington)

Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani participated in the Rangers game in the enemy territory on the 4th (Japan time 5th) with “No. 2 pitcher”, and renewed the number of majors with a good pitching of 6 innings, 4 hits, 6 strikeouts and 1 run. Marked the sixth win. On that day, he even screamed in Japanese, saying, “Dokokaniite!”

The bat cut the sky in a boomerang-like orbit. Otani confronts Rowe in the scene of 2nd base in the 3rd inning. The slider thrown from count 1-2 turned sharply from the low center to the inside angle, and took a strikeout.

Matt Basgarzian, who plays live on the local broadcaster “Barry Sports West,” was also very excited about this. The moment he struck out, he screamed in Japanese and praised Otani. The same Twitter posted a video with a comment, “I’m not sure which one is better … Bassgarzian’s Japanese or Shohei’s slider?”

Fans also praised Otani’s changing ball as “Shohei’s slider without complaint” and “Definitely Shohei’s slider”. In addition, there were voices who praised Mr. Basgarzian, who gave a live commentary in Japanese, as “I respect the effort” and “I like Matt!”.
