　In his first at-bat, he suddenly hit his 42nd leading hitter’s solo home run, and while he was going around the diamond, he bent his hands like a dog and showed a “deco-pin pose” that sticks out his tongue.

　In the second at-bat in the third inning, he hit a right-handed front and recorded multi-hit in two consecutive games, then advanced to second base and stole three at-bat. He succeeded brilliantly and recorded his 41st stolen base. The catcher’s throw hit his body and he looked painful, but fortunately he was not injured. After that, when Teoscar Hernandez’s strong foul passed Otani’s back, he jumped and bent to avoid it, and was described as a “matrix” in the U.S. broadcast.

　On this day, his dog, Decopin, threw the first pitch. When Otani led him to the mound, he made him wait on the mound and Otani moved to the catcher’s position. When Otani sent the signal, Decopin held the ball in his mouth and went straight to Otani, exchanging a high five with a big smile on his face. There was a big round of applause at the stadium. The owner in a good mood is moving with joy and sorrow.
