Shohei Otani went out with two swords today. In addition to hitting 10K in 6.1 innings on the mound to suppress the opponent, he also hit 3 threes and doubled in a single game. What’s interesting is that after the first home run, he was eager to prepare for the pitch, so he handed over the celebratory samurai helmet to the translator Mizuhara Ippei. As a result, Mizuhara put on the helmet and acted as a “kage warrior” to receive the cheers from the fans. The performance was still high, and Otani jokingly gave a negative review after the game.
Desperate to stabilize the American League home run leader, Otani “rushed to the pace” in the first inning today. He caught a red mid-speed ball with a total distance of about 152 kilometers and threw the ball directly to the right field, forming the 27th home run of the season. . Under normal circumstances, Otani should have put on his samurai cap when he returned to the waiting room, and received cheers from his teammates. However, because he had to prepare for the next inning to pitch, his teammates had to find someone else to replace him, and Suwon next to him became the best candidate.
When the camera brought the picture to the angel lounge, I saw Suhara, surrounded by the players, walking towards the camera with his samurai cap in his left hand, and then put it on. He became the only orthodox “Japanese samurai” in the team, including Otani. The Angel’s official Twitter account later uploaded the photo, writing, “This is our favorite photo ever on Twitter.”
After the game, when the reporter asked Otani if he had seen Suwon wearing a hat, he joked, “He didn’t put the hat on properly, so I think it looks a bit disappointing.” Suwon, who was translating beside him, could only followed by a wry smile.
Perhaps to show Suwon how to wear a hat correctly, Otani pushed his home run to 28 in seven innings, becoming the second Japanese samurai to wear a helmet today.
