Shohei Ohtani (30, Los Angeles Dodgers), who has already gone through a battle in the air, cannot be nervous. Ohtani said he is not nervous ahead of the first postseason.
LA-area broadcasting network SportsNet LA released a video of Ohtani's interview on the 5th (Korea time), which is set to play its first postseason stage after entering the Major League.
When asked if he is nervous ahead of the postseason, Ohtani answered firmly, "Nope." He is not nervous at all.
Ohtani also expressed his feelings about facing his first postseason stage, saying, "I have more expectations than tension."
Ohtani has already experienced the Japanese series in Japanese professional baseball. In 2016, he led the Nippon-Ham Fighters to the top of Japanese professional baseball.
He then struck out Mike Trout in the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC) final and gave the Japanese national baseball team the championship.
There is no reason for the first postseason in the Major League to be a problem for such a player. Rather, he would consider it an opportunity to further increase his value.
The Los Angeles Dodgers will play the best-of-five National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres from June 6. Games 1, 2, and 5 will be held at Dodger Stadium. 스포츠토토
Currently, the Los Angeles Dodgers is considered the strongest candidate to win the World Series. The most valuable player trio is led by Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman.
In order for the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the World Series as expected, Ohtani, who showed great confidence, must remain the same as in the regular season.
