Shohei Ohtani will not participate in the HR Derby. Teoscar Hernandez’s game-winning hit against the Diamondbacks was a great game. Japanese translation subtitles included.

The first game of the series against the Diamondbacks. In the bottom of the 7th inning, Otani hit a huge 27th two-run home run to turn the game around, with the score at 3-2. However, the team was later overtaken and was down 5-4 in the bottom of the 9th inning, with consecutive doubles from Smith and Freeman to tie the game, and Teoscar Hernandez hit a walk-off home run to win the game dramatically. In Teoscar Hernandez’s hero interview and in the post-game press conference, Otani answered questions about the Home Run Derby and revealed his intention not to participate. Otani’s huge missile-like home run was immediately obvious when he hit it. Then, with three consecutive hits from two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning, it was a walk-off drama to turn the game around. It was a really thrilling and wonderful game to watch. He will not be participating in the Home Run Derby due to his ongoing rehabilitation. In addition to his elbow being rehabilitated, he has been in poor form since participating in the 2021 season, so it’s worrying. I hope he maintains this form and hits more home runs and the team continues to win. ▼Original video https://x.com/SportsNetLA/status/1808372627834392590 https://x.com/SportsNetLA/status/1808375822446666095 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew1ZBRX2Qsc ▼Audio Kasukabe Tsumugi VOICEVOX: https://voicevox.hiroshiba.jp/
