Is Ohtani out of shape or are the Angels too much for him?
Japanese “superstar” Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball has been asked to make his debut in an exhibition game. For now, he won’t be playing on opening day.
The Dodgers held a spring training workout at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona, on April 19 (KST). The focus was on whether Ohtani would take his first live at-bat.
Ohtani showed no signs of lingering effects from his elbow surgery by blasting a home run in batting practice at the start of camp. In batting practice after camp, he hit 33 of 76 pitches for home runs. He showed power.
However, he was cautious in live batting practice, where batters and pitchers battle for pitches. It’s a far cry from the usual batting practice where slow balls are thrown at you. Pitchers also have to be in top form, so they give it their all, 토토사이트 both in terms of velocity and pitches. If a strong ball misses, it can affect the elbow.
Ohtani was named to the roster for the first live batting practice on Sunday. However, he didn’t participate in the actual practice. Instead, he watched his teammates practice and took some swings in the batting cage.
He was included in the live batting practice roster again on the 19th.
He was in a group with Freddie Freeman, Miguel Rojas, Jason Heyward, and Max Muncy. However, Ohtani went into the clubhouse after warming up and disappeared. He skipped live batting for the second straight game. He left around 12:30 p.m. local time.
His return to the field for an exhibition game is also expected to be delayed. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Ohtani will make his exhibition debut over the weekend. He’s scheduled to play after the home game against the Oakland Athletics on the 26th.”
The Dodgers will begin their exhibition schedule with a series against the San Diego Padres on April 22. They’ll play one more game against San Diego on the 23rd, and then host Ohtani’s hometown Los Angeles Angels on the 24th, a three-game weekend series.
It’s a schedule that allows the team to take a break between games. It can be overwhelming to be the center of attention from fans around the world, but playing against the Angels could be too much for Ohtani to handle. Here we are, playing the Angels away. It’s not easy to visit a place that feels like home while wearing a rival team’s uniform.
There is one more game between the two teams next month on June 6th. The Dodgers are at home.
Or maybe they just need more time to get in shape, 안전한 파워볼사이트 and it just so happens to coincide with the exhibition game. It’s essential that you train in live batting to make sure you’re in shape and hitting well before you take the field. I haven’t even started live betting yet, so it’s clear that I need time.
