Greetings with a good touch on the ground… Chatting with a calm expression
■ Angels – Blue Jays (Japan time 8th, Anaheim)
On the 7th (8th Japan time), pitcher Shohei Otani of the Angels had a “long talk” on the ground before the game against the Blue Jays, which opened at home. Reunited with pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, a senior at Hanamaki Higashi High School, and greeted him. As if the talk was lively, the “blue sky talk” was held for about 20 minutes.
A senior with a mustache and a wild smile near the outfield. I thought that the reunion would end with a few words, but a hot talk was developed with gestures. Both of them had a calm expression from beginning to end and enjoyed the momentary moment.
Otani is scheduled to appear in the starting lineup as “No. 3/designated hitter” on this day. Attention is focused on whether he can hit the third home run in three games in front of his seniors.
