Shohei Ohtani reached 100 miles per hour mark at least 10 times during the game. His only trouble came in the second inning when he gave up three consecutive hits including a three-run home run to third baseman Matt Chapman. After that Ohtani retired 14 of the next 15 batters.
Overall Ohtani’s numbers were pretty impressive as he pitched six innings and only gave up three hits and three earned runs with one walk and six strikeouts. Now for all those naysayers about Ohtani (I’m included to a point), Shohei said SHUSH!!! . I myself was not ready to give up on him, but I thought a little time in the minors might help him with his adjustment to American baseball.
