Another intentional 4-pitch… Even if the elbow ligaments are ruptured, batter Ohtani is scary
Ohtani looks scary even though his elbow ligaments are ruptured.
Ohtani, the “Japanese star” of the Los Angeles Angels in the American Major League, intentionally missed out with 4 pitches despite an elbow injury. He also slapped hits. His presence as a batter is still there.
On the 29th (Korean time), Ohtani started as the designated hitter in the away game against the Philadelphia Phillies held at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Ohtani was judged to be out of season as a pitcher due to ligament rupture in his right elbow throwing the ball, but fortunately, he continues to play as a designated hitter, judging that the injury does not have a significant impact on hitting.
Ohtani had a multi-on-base game that day, going 4 at bats, 1 hit, 1 walk, and 1 strikeout. His hit was only 1, and his batting average slightly decreased from 3.5 Lee to 3.4 Lee.스포츠토토
Ohtani got a hit in his first at-bat. In the beginning of the first inning, he had a chance to first base safely and hit Walker’s fastball, the opponent’s starter, and turned it into a heavy hit. With Ohtani’s hit, Shanuel, who was on first base, went to second base, and it was the Angels who got the first run by stepping on home when Renhipo hit No. 5. However, Ohtani failed to add the score due to a follow-up hit.
Ohtani took the lead in the third inning and retired with an outfield fly. A chance came in the 4th inning when both teams faced off 1-1. He entered the at-bat in the situation of 2nd, 2nd and 3rd base. However, the first base is empty, and there is no team to compete head-to-head with Ohtani, who is the best hitter in the Angels. Walker, who had a difficult match, was driven to 3B, and in the end, a deliberate four-ball order came out from the bench. The only thing Ohtani could laugh at was that Drury, who had passed through him and dealt with him, was hit by Walker with two RBIs in a timely manner. It would have been a pity for Ohtani as an individual, but as a team, it was a helpful scene.
Ohtani also intentionally got 4 pitches in the first game against the New York Mets after being diagnosed with an elbow ligament rupture. Opponent pitchers and opposing teams do not seem to have an elbow injury involved at all when facing hitter Ohtani.
But Ohtani couldn’t stop laughing. This is because the team allowed a turnaround and struck out in the 4th at-bat in the 6th inning. He was also out on an infield grounder in the 5th at-bat in the 8th inning.
That’s how the Angels lost 4-6, and Ohtani couldn’t set the stage for a comeback. He had to look towards the team’s second straight loss.
