Ohtani Keeps His Promise
Los Angeles Dodgers’ Japanese star Shohei Ohtani homered again yesterday in a game started by Tyler Glasnow, fulfilling his preseason promise to hit many home runs for him. Ohtani’s commitment to delivering power for the team is evident as he continues to perform at an elite level.
Recruitment Video Promise
During the offseason, Glasnow was traded from the Rays to the Dodgers and subsequently signed a five-year, $135 million extension. After the signing, Glasnow revealed that Ohtani had recorded a recruitment video for him, expressing his desire for Glasnow to join the Dodgers and his promise to hit many home runs for him and the team.
Powerful Support for Glasnow
According to Japanese media outlet Full-Count, Ohtani has hit 23 home runs this season, with six of them coming in games where Glasnow was the starting pitcher. This consistent power support underscores Ohtani’s commitment and ability to back up his words with actions.
Unbeaten Myth
The report also highlighted a fascinating trend: whenever Ohtani homers in a game started by Glasnow, Glasnow ends up securing the win. This “unbeaten myth” has become a remarkable aspect of their partnership. Glasnow has started 16 games this season, boasting a record of 8 wins, 5 losses, and an impressive ERA of 2.88.
Seasonal Consistency
Ohtani’s performance this season has been nothing short of spectacular. His 23 home runs, combined with Glasnow’s solid pitching, have been crucial in the Dodgers’ success. The synergy between Ohtani’s batting and Glasnow’s pitching has created a winning formula for the team.
Looking Ahead
As the season progresses, fans and analysts will be watching closely to see if Ohtani can continue to deliver on his promises and maintain this unbeaten streak with Glasnow. The Dodgers are in a strong position, and the contributions of both players are key to their ongoing success. (Nice88)
