One of the points to watch on this day is the confrontation between yang hyeon-jong and Shohei Ohtani (LA Angels) who are sweeping the major leagues.
Yang Hyeon-jong was hit by a surprise bunt by Ohtani while striving for seven consecutive hits in his big league debut. This is the first hit by Yang Hyeon-jong in the major leagues.
Ohtani explained to the bunt attempt after the game,I couldn't catch the rhythm because the opponent pitcher was excellent.In that case,I thought that a blunt hit would be more effective than a clean hit normally.
Ohtani is tied for second place in the major league homers by hitting 14 homers as a batter while working as a two-stroke this season.Interest is focused on how to deal with Ohtani, whom yang hyeon-jong met again.
