Shohei Ohtani of the Angels who started in the opening game with the US Major League Baseball Astros. Full participation in the designated hitter “dual wield” even after the pitcher’s departure = April, Anaheim (jointly)
The World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) will introduce a rule that the starting pitcher can continue to play as a designated hitter (DH) even after getting off the board at the international baseball tournament hosted by the officials on the 3rd. It was introduced this season because Shohei Ohtani (Angels) is active in the dual wield style of throwing in the US Major League Baseball, and is commonly known as the “Otani Rule”.
It was decided by the board of directors in early June. WBSC hosts the World Cup of baseball by age group. The U-12 (12 years old or younger) World Cup, the first international tournament after the revision, will be held in Taiwan from July 29, and the U-15, U-18, and U-23 World Cups will be held after August. Will be done.
