On the 16th (17th Japan time), Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani (30) practiced pitching before the game against the Cardinals on the road. He started by playing catch on the grass of the field, then performed long throws up to 150 feet (about 45 meters), and finally threw 12 balls with a catcher sitting down. However, he only put in about 60% of his strength in each pitch, so it felt like a light adjustment. In the middle of playing catch, he was reunited with Cardinals pitcher Nootbaa, with whom he played in last year’s WBC. They exchanged hugs and chatted for a while. After that, Ohtani resumed playing catch, and Nootbaa headed off to the team’s defensive practice.
