Los Angeles Angels’ Otani Shohei, this day is shining as a’two-ta-time job’.
On the 5th (Korean time), Otani played the Chicago White Sox at Angel Stadium on the 5th (Korean time) as a starting pitcher and second batter for the home game.
This in itself was history. According to local media such as’MLB.com’, he was the first in the history of the major leagues to play as a batter in one game as a pitcher without digesting other positions since Wattie Lee in 1902 and Jack Dunleavy in 1903.

Otani, who finished the first episode with no loss, wrote history again at the end of the first episode. Opponent Dylan Sith’s first 97-mile four-seam fastball hit the ball as it was, and a solo home run that went over the wall in the middle of the right was blown up.
It was a strong bat with a batting speed of 115 miles. It was an exciting blow to know that it passed the moment it was hit. It flew 451 feet at a launch angle of 21 degrees.
According to MLB.com, it was the first time a starting pitcher hit a home run in an American League match since Baltimore Orioles pitcher Loric Harrison scored a match against the Cleveland Indians on the final day of the 1972 regular season.
The American League has introduced designated hitters since 1973. In short, it means that Otani was the first to hit a home run in an American League game other than an Interleague after the introduction of the American League nominated hitter. [email protected]
