スポーツ｜大谷翔平、8戦連続本塁打なしの苦境 / Sports | Shohei Ohtani faces tough times with eight consecutive games without a home run.

Summary

Shohei Ohtani played in the game against the Padres but is currently experiencing a slump, having gone eight consecutive games without a home run.

During the game, in the sixth inning, Enrique Hernandez pitched due to an injury to the Padres’ bullpen, which led to a change in the designated hitter role. As a result, Ohtani has gone without a home run for a season-long streak of 37 at-bats, and fans are hopeful for his future performance.

Chako: Hey Log, I heard Ohtani hasn’t hit a home run in 8 games! I wonder what’s going on?
Log: It is surprising, for sure. Actually, he was substituted partway through the game. Another player came in as a pitcher in the sixth inning, so the designated hitter rule was lifted.
Chako: I see! But it seems like he’s still getting hits lately, so it should be okay, right?
Log: That’s true, getting hits in 7 consecutive games is impressive. But I’m concerned that he hasn’t hit a home run.
Navi: Ohtani’s batting performance this season has been disappointing, but the most important thing is that he hasn’t been injured. I’m hopeful for his recovery moving forward.

Admin’s Note

I’m amazed by Ohtani’s recent performance, but considering his talent, I expect him to bounce back soon. The fact that he’s been getting hits consistently is a good sign, and I hope he hits some home runs in the upcoming games. It’s also important to note that he might be substituted depending on the team’s situation, so the manager’s decisions are crucial. As a fan, I want to keep my hopes up as long as he’s healthy.
