A hurricane slammed into the usually sunny California region of the United States, forcing the Los Angeles Angels to postpone their home game. The return of Shohei Ohtani (29) to the starting rotation was naturally pushed back.메이저사이트
The Los Angeles Angels were originally scheduled to host the Cincinnati Reds at Angels Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on April 22.
However, the game was postponed due to the recent hurricanes that hit California. The game will now be played as a doubleheader on April 24.
Ohtani, who is set to return to the starting lineup, has also been rescheduled. He will now start Game 1 of the doubleheader on April 24 against left-hander Andrew Abbott.
Ohtani is one start removed from a six-inning no-hitter against the San Francisco Giants on April 10. It’s not an injury, it’s a health issue.
It’s more like he’s tired from batting second. Ohtani started 22 games as a pitcher this season and had 546 plate appearances through 21 days as a hitter.
His stats are more than enough to earn him unanimous MVP honors. First, as a pitcher, he has pitched 130 2/3 innings in 22 games with a 10-5 record and a 3.17 ERA.
As a hitter, he’s at the top of his game, batting .306 with 43 home runs, 89 doubles, 95 RBIs, 140 runs scored, a .407 slugging percentage and a 1.070 OPS in 123 games.
Now, Ohtani will be making his first start in exactly two weeks after missing the last 10 days. It will be interesting to see if he can regain his health and gain a foothold to break into the 2-runs-per-game range.
