Shohei Ohtani’s first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers is officially underway, as the NL powerhouse is opening up the season Wednesday against the San Diego Padres in Seoul, South Korea.
Ohtani, who signed a $700 million deal with the Dodgers in the offseason, grounded into a fielder’s choice in his first at-bat with his new team.
Then in the third inning he got his first hit of the year when he roped a single into right field off Yu Darvish.
Ohtani’s wife, Mamiko Tanaka, is at the game and she loved seeing her husband get his first hit as a member of the Dodgers:
It should be a fun season for Ohtani and the Dodgers.
