Chako: Hey Log, I heard that Ohtani made an emergency pitching appearance! Isn’t that amazing?
Log: It really is. Jumping in like that is tough, but he didn’t give up any runs, so he’s truly impressive.
Chako: But he went hitless at the plate, right? I wonder why that is.
Log: Well, it really depends on the situation of the game and the opposing pitcher’s performance, so it’s hard to say for sure. It might be that the pressure got to him.
Navi: Ohtani’s performance can be affected by the circumstances of an emergency appearance. Fatigue, in particular, could have had an impact on his hitting.
Chako: I see! That’s why his hitting didn’t go well. Thanks, Navi!
Log: I hope he gets back in form in the upcoming games.

Admin’s Note

In this game, Shohei Ohtani’s emergency pitching made headlines, and it reminded us once again of his exceptional two-way talent. While he managed to pitch without giving up any runs, it was disappointing that he didn’t have success at the plate. As the entire team struggles, Ohtani’s ability to maintain his health and perform will be crucial for the Dodgers moving forward. We especially look forward to his continued growth as the season progresses.
