Shohei Otani appeared on the mound of Sapporo Dome, his home base, for the first time in his first pitching as a professional. In the notable first time, everything is straight, and it is possible to get through without losing a point with a single straight ball. The pressure that others cannot imagine, and the straight ball that he continued to throw even when the runners were in scoring position are proof of the strength of his feelings. It became a mound that showed that he has the qualities to be a first-class pitcher, not just a sign of two-sword style. (May 23, 2013 Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters vs. Tokyo Yakult Swallows)
