[NOWnews今日新聞] Kenta Maeda, a Japanese strong pitcher who moved from the Minnesota Twins to the Detroit Tigers, recently talked about Shohei Ohtani’s hitting in Nippon TV’s program “Going! Sports & News” as he evolves every year, and pitchers can attack more and more places. He comes less and less, and I hope he can win a few more home run titles.
Shohei Ohtani is the first Japanese player to win the home run title in the major leagues. Maeda mentioned Ohtani’s greatness. He said: “Otani evolves every year.” He also analyzed Ohtani’s evolution, “Look at his hits every year. , there are fewer and fewer places to shoot. At first, Ohtani still had many blind spots and weaknesses, but one less every year. In the end, there were only a few left that had to be accurately shot to a certain place. He could always eliminate his weaknesses. .”
Kenta Maeda added: “Because Shohei Ohtani is a left-handed hitter with very fast feet and can even hit a double, so when he faced the Angels earlier, it was better than facing the three-time American League MVP and hard-hitting Mike Trout. , I hate dealing with Otani even more.”
Talking about Ohtani Shohei’s home run with the longest flight distance in the major leagues this season (about 150 meters), Maeda said: “His flight distance is no different from that of a major league slugger. Even a giant cannon will hit Ohtani.” I was surprised by how far the ball flew.”
Kenta Maeda said with a smile: “It’s not surprising that Ohtani won the home run title. I think he will win it a few more times in the future. After all, he is also a pitcher.” Talking about the matchup with Ohtani next season, he said: “He can both hit and hit. Straight balls can also hit change-ups, so you still have to pitch carefully, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of this hitter.”
