Ohtani’s first match against the Brewers in his 6th year in the majors, Coach Counsel “There are few places where one player can affect the game”
■ Angels vs. Brewers (Japan time 29th, Milwaukee)
Brewers manager Craig Counsell praised pitcher Shohei Ohtani in an interview with the press before the game against the Angels on the 28th (Japan time 29th). Ohtani’s first match against the Brewers in his sixth year in the majors. “Shohei is a very talented player, but everyone is getting used to dual wielding.
Ohtani marked his fourth win without injury in the match against the Athletics on the 27th (28th) the day before. In pitching, he allowed 8 strikeouts, 3 hits and 5 runs in 6 innings. With a bat, if he hit a home run, he achieved his second cycle hit. “There are very few places where one player can affect a game, but if you look at yesterday’s game, no player has ever had that much impact. Amazing. Both pitching and hitting are great, one roster (dual wielding). I only use frames,” he said.
It is said that he was also impressed by the WBC final against the United States in March, where Otani became a toss-up pitcher. The enemy general said, “I thought it was crazy when I saw him pitching from the bullpen in the WBC (where he was competing as a DH). It’s unbelievable. No one has ever done something like this.” was
