Admin’s Note

Shohei Ohtani has achieved yet another remarkable feat, and as a fan, I couldn’t be happier. The boos directed at the intentional walks reflect the high expectations people have for him. Throughout the game, there were many moments that reaffirmed his influence, and I can’t take my eyes off what he will do next. I was moved by how the entire team came together to fight for the win, including the walk-off victory. I’m looking forward to seeing his performance in future games.
