LA Dodgers Shohei Ohtani started the World Series' first 'Double Throwing' smoothly.

Ohtani started as a leadoff pitcher in Game 4 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium on the 29th (Korea time).

Despite the relatively short rest such as sleep due to the 18th overtime match and 6:39 p.m., Ohtani continued to play early in the game without much difficulty.




Before the game, manager Dave Roberts said, `I'm in great shape. I think they prepared well for today's game. He has a special athletic ability and a special brain"Ohtani's condition was conveyed.

In the top of the first inning, Ohtani got off to a clean start by catching leader Nathan Lucas on a fly to left field. Left fielder Kiké Hernández extended his glove to the stands with the fence.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. then struck out three pitches. He swung and missed on an 86.9-mile sweeper that flowed outside the third pitch on a two-strike.




Ohtani's batting average of 0.311 during the regular season is a brilliant bobby??He allowed a walk after a full-count battle with the team. He then allowed an infield hit to the third baseman, with two outs and runners on the first and second bases. However, he caught Alejandro Kirk with an 85.5-mile sweeper on a fly to the first baseman and ended the inning scoreless.

Ohtani, who then took the batter's box in the bottom of the first inning, got on base with a straight walk against Toronto right-hander Shane Bieber. The outside 90-mile changeup on the sixth pitch from the full count seemed to span the strike zone, but the hands of centripetal John Tompain did not go up.

Ohtani, who got on base for all nine at-bats the previous day, including two home runs, two doubles and five walks, continued his record of getting on base for 11 consecutive times after hitting right in the eighth inning of Game 2 on the 26th. However, he failed to advance further due to the failure of the follow-up.




Ohtani finished the top of the second inning lightly with seven balls. He handled lead Dalton Basho with a fly ball to shortstop, Ernie Clement with a grounder to first base, and Andres Jimenez with a grounder to pitcher.
