"No to pitching and batting, stop pitching and concentrate on hitting the batter," the true heart of the Japanese legend

The Japanese weekly magazine "Weekly Munchun" delivered Jang Hoon's thoughts on Ohtani as a baseball park on the 21st. Jang Hoon said, "I'm rooting for Ohtani because I like him. I'm watching him on TV every game."

Jang Hoon, who is also known as a "poisonous writer," made headlines by telling Ohtani that he was selected as the top nine because of his popularity and popularity. "Baseball is not a professional wrestling. You can't build your body like that," "You're on TV here and there, but you're not an actor," and "You lack of practice. You need to train your lower body."

Above all, Jang Hoon has always shown negative views on Ohtani's pitching and batting performance. Since joining the Nippon-Ham Fighters in 2013, he has been skeptical of Ohtani's challenge to both pitching and batting.

Ohtani had a big success as both pitcher and batter, but Jang still opposes the idea. "At first, I thought I should focus on pitching. When I joined the team, I went to the camp and saw him throw a bullpen session, and I thought he was much better than Yu Darvish or Daisuke Matsuzaka. I am still against pitching and batting. It is better to focus on one of the two in order to achieve high results," he said.토토사이트 순위

Ohtani, who made a new major league history by throwing more than 130 innings for three consecutive years with the Los Angeles Angels between 2021 and 2023, has been closed this season as a pitcher after undergoing surgery on his right elbow in September last year. He will try to throw and hit again next season, but it is questionable how long he will be able to play both sides as he enters his 30s.

Jang Hoon said, "I think it's better for me to focus on batting now. The Japanese conquered the opponent in a match of strength and became the home run king after advancing to the U.S. (868 home runs in total) Wang was also surprised and said, "This is unthinkable in our time."

Ohtani became the first Asian player to win the title of home run king of the Major League Baseball by ranking No. 1 in homers (44) in the American League last year. He is also leading the National League with 21 home runs this year. It is worth expecting the title of home run king for the second consecutive year.

The overall performance of the season was .391 with a batting average of 318 percent (94 hits in 296 times at bat) in 74 games, 21 home runs, 53 RBIs, 59 runs, 35 walks, 66 strikeouts, and 16 steals.391 slugging percentage .615 OPS 1.006. He is targeting the MVP for the first time as a designated hitter who does not contribute to defense, ranking first in major offensive categories with NL home runs, scoring runs, slugging percentage, and OPS, second in batting average and hits, fifth in RBIs and on-base percentage, and tied for sixth in stolen bases.

"On the at-bat, Ohtani does not raise his right foot, waits for the ball, and then catches it. It is best for a batter to hit with no-step or minimal movement like Ohtani did," Jang Hoon said. "However, since doing so does not provide strength, most players try to hit with their feet raised or recoil. Even if I want to copy Ohtani, I cannot do it."

On marrying his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, a former basketball player, in March, Jang Hoon said, "I support marriage. My opinion is that the sooner an athlete gets married, the better." When I have a child, I feel more responsible, and when I see a child sleeping after returning home, I think, "Yes, I will do my best tomorrow." Ohtani said, "I will continue to get good results."

Jang Hoon, a former left-handed, left-handed outfielder, played 23 seasons with the Toei Flyers, Nippon-Ham, Yomiuri Giants, and Lotte Orions in the Japanese professional baseball league from 1959 to 1981, batting .399 with 3,085 hits, 504 homers, 1,676 RBIs, 1523 runs scored, 1,274 walks, 319 steals, and a .399 slugging rate of .534 OPS.933. He dominated an era as a slugger representing Japanese baseball, winning the title of batting champion for seven consecutive years from 1967 to 1970.

Asked if he would like to challenge the Major League if he is an active player now, Jang Hoon said, "I will go. My salary will increase by more than 10 times." I tell Japanese players not to go there for their fans, but anyone will go there considering their annual salary.
