“His insane pitching performance caused it.”
Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani has been registered in the world’s largest dictionary. The world’s largest digital dictionary site “dictionary.com”, which started in 1995, has announced that it has added the “Ohtani Rule” introduced in MLB this season as a new word in the fall of 2022.
620 new words were added this time, one of which became the “Ohtani rule”. A new rule introduced in MLB this season, partly due to Otani’s dual wielding, allows a pitcher who started as a starting pitcher and also as a DH to turn at bat as a DH even after he leaves the plate. “Dictionary.com” explains that “a rule that allows a pitcher to enter the batting line as a DH and remain as a DH even if he is replaced by another pitcher on the mound.”
“This rule, which was formalized by the MLB in 2022, is named after MLB phenom Shohei Ohtani, who was inspired by his unusual pitching performance,” the site’s editors explained. I am adding writing. In addition to the “Ohtani Rules”, new additions such as “Ghostrunner” for sports, and “Shadowban” and “Zelensky” for other fields.
