Shohei Ohtani used to swing his arm in the first two bullpen practice pitches of the year, and he is also ready to continue when he returns to the big league pitcher mound, and he said in an interview on the 21st: "In the past, I used to use fixed pitching, but as a baseball player, I want to explore different options, different paths, to see if I can continue to grow as a player, and I do this both on the hitting and pitching surfaces." ”

Shohei Ohtani is expected to start pitching in May, and in terms of strikes, although he did not participate in the team's first spring training warm-up game on the 21st, he should be able to make it in time for the opening game in Tokyo, and whether or not to continue to throw in arms depends on his body's reactions, especially after the intensity gradually increases. Otani is currently shooting at a speed of about 92 to 94 miles and only throws straight, but the team is happy with his current situation.

Shohei Ohtani is expected to use a swing of his arms in the new season, and he will continue to monitor his pitching data and his own feelings during practice

During the rehab process, Ohtani constantly watched to see if his pitching stats matched the sensations of his body, which he called "real and feeling", which allowed him to confirm his progress in recovery, and he believed that as long as he could continue to meet the standards in the cowpen and even in actual shooting practice, he could return to the Major League Pitcher Mound even if he did not participate in the Spring Training warm-up game and minor league rehab game.

Ohtani admits that he has done this in the past when he was injured, "so I don't worry too much about it, and the focus is on being able to confirm that the 'real and feeling' match at different stages, which is the part that I care about the most." ”
