Baseball: Shohei Ohtani promises to areas of strength for have to prepare with Dodgers
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani said Saturday he will attempt to come by results from the get-go in the season to be a fundamental piece of his new group.
“I value all the consideration,” Ohtani said through translator Ippei Mizuhara at a question and answer session on Saturday at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Vault close by partners Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman. “Clearly, the consideration is generally perfect, being a baseball player. Having the option to play with these extraordinary folks close to me is simply energizing.”
“I actually should be essential for the group. I need to demonstrate to everybody that I’m really a Dodger now.”
The Dodgers and San Diego Padres will play the initial two rounds of Significant Association Baseball’s ordinary season on Wednesday and Thursday. The groups showed up independently at Incheon Global Air terminal, close to Seoul, the earlier day.
“I got to stroll around a tad with my better half,” Betts said. “Getting to see the way of life is really cool, yet I know I’m hanging around for work. Very eager to play before another fan base.”
The MLB ordinary season games will be the main in South Korea.
“It’s my most memorable opportunity to play baseball anyplace abroad,” Freeman said. “This (the publicity encompassing the Dodgers) is on the grounds that something truly extraordinary occurred in the offseason. It’s been fun being before much more new fans this year.”
The Dodgers were viewed as the offseason’s most dynamic group, marking Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a three-time MVP pitcher in Japan, as well as outfielder Teoscar Hernandez and pitchers Tyler Glasnow and James Paxton.
Glasnow is booked to begin the initial game against Yu Darvish of the Padres. Yamamoto and Joe Musgrove will take the hill in Game 2.
Requested to remark on confronting Darvish without precedent for his vocation, Ohtani said, “Darvish is someone I’ve generally gazed upward to. Somebody I truly regard as a pitcher. I got an opportunity to play with him at the WBC. I got an opportunity to work out with him past offseasons.”
