Debut in style for the Japanese

As part of the first game of the opening day of the 2024 season between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, the Japanese hit his first hit through a powerful line drive into the hands of right field guarded by Dominican Fernando Tatis Júnior.
Ohtani never stopped surprising fans with his skills
The Japanese did not finish showing off his skills and abilities, especially in the way he ran the bases in his debut with the Dodgers uniform since he would add a little more to the spectacle in Seoul, by stealing second base, but unfortunately he could not score a run for the Dodgers.
The debut of the Japanese player represents a before and after for the Dodgers organization who increased ticket prices for the Los Angeles team’s games since with the presence of the so-called ‘ShoTime’, marketing has increased noticeably.
