Hello baseball fans all over the world, my name is Vic. Today at 2 a.m. Taiwan time, the Dodgers will play the first game of a three-game series at the home court of the Cubs! It was also a good show for two Japanese hitters Shohei Ohtani and Makoto Suzuki to show off each other. In the last game, Shohei Ohtani finally hit his first home run of the regular season at home. Let’s see if he can continue this trend. In Shohei Ohtani’s first at-bat, the pitcher hit a four-seam pitch on the first pitch. The second pitch was the same four-seam pitch. Ohtani hit a foul ball on the third pitch. Faced with this 88.2 mph sinker, Ohtani hit a one. A deep double hit, the initial velocity of this bat reached 106.1 mph. The batting condition is very good. The ball review here mentioned that Ohtani had the same impact with the Angels before and after the Dodgers due to long-term uncovered conditions. When the level is even higher than that, the mentality of attacking is different. Perhaps this factor made it take him some time to adapt in the early stages of the season. This is also the reason why the Dodgers president told him to just be himself. In short I hit a double as soon as I came on the field today. I really need to listen to what the general manager said. First, let’s take a look at the Cubs’ offense in the second half of the second inning. In this inning, Dodger pitcher Bobby Miller threw more than 40 pitches in a single inning. When there were people on second and third base, he faced Suzuki Makoto also hit a double, losing five points in a single game! Suzuki had already started two games against the Rockies in the last series, and the start of the season was really strong. Otani’s second pitch, the first ball was a four-seam strike, the second pitch was a changeup, the bad ball was chosen, and the third ball was a low changeup. Ohtani did not grasp the good ball, the fourth ball, an outward changeup. Otani hit a ground ball and was out. At this time, someone at first base faced the change-up ball and went out! ! It feels very relaxing! The initial velocity of the ball is also an elite level of 105.2 mph. After all, you really have to listen to the change in mentality. Ohtani has returned to the man we are familiar with~ Ohtani’s fourth ball at the plate was a finger-licking curveball and a foul ball on the second ball. The bad ball was picked out by the third pitch. Dagu had good control over this curve ball, but unfortunately it was caught by the center fielder. Ohtani’s fifth pitch was a slider on the first pitch, a bad ball on the second pitch, and a four-seam bad ball. The third ball was a good chance with four seams in the near red, but it was a pity that the pitcher didn’t hit it well. Then the pitcher came up with two sliders in a row and reached the sixth ball with a full ball count!The initial velocity of this slider reached 110mph. Unfortunately, the elevation angle was a little high. The previous home run hit at an angle of 32 degrees. It was really close, but it can also be seen that Ohtani’s condition has really returned in this game. In the game, Otani had five hits and two hits, including one home run, two RBIs, and two runs scored. His batting average rose to .286, OPS.850. In today’s batting battle, the Dodgers lost to the Cubs 7:9, losing their first defeat in three consecutive games.
