The home run king of the Pacific League was also a surprise two shots. Pitcher Shohei Ohtani (28 = Angels) hit a series of oversized home runs with one hand on one knee and the second one with the bat broken.

Infielder Yamakawa Hodaka (31 = Seibu), who witnessed Otani’s two shots, said, “I don’t think I should say that. I really want to quit baseball. Seriously, it’s boring. It’s impossible. Well, I don’t think we’re doing the same competition.(The bat was broken in the second one.) You must be joking around in the first one.Don’t be silly. I want it. That kind of competition is different.”

He himself is a pinch hitter and has two strikeouts. Five games into the run-off game at the end of February, he’s still hitless. On this day, I returned the bat from about 900 grams this season to about 920 grams last season, but it did not lead to results.

However, Yamakawa doesn’t get discouraged. “It’s always like this, but the flow is bad. No matter how you look at it, I want to do something about it, but I don’t know what to say. Again, when it comes to the main battle, the flow will change completely. Of course, there are times when things go on like this.If it’s my own team, of course, I’m guaranteed a certain number of strokes.If it’s in this state, I have to accept it.I want to do something about it, but it’s trial and error. Anyway, try and error, repeat, and accept the current situation.I don’t have any strange pride.I think that I can only do my best in the given situation while reconfirming what is good and what is bad. ” he said in his usual manner.
