Shohei Ohtani discussed hitting a home run on his first at-bat at Yankee Stadium Tuesday, his thoughts on the venue and more during an interview.
Question: Is there any reason why you wanted to take [batting practice] on the field today?I just wanted to see my ball flight. It’s impossible to do that inside. I think I’m going to be hitting outside somewhat decently often here on out.Ward got on first in front of me. I just wanted to put a good swing on a ball and get him to third at least with one out. I hit the home run.
Q: You didn’t have a lot of success at Yankee Stadium in the past, but you did today. How satisfying was it to win today, to contribute in that way, and how does the environment play for your game?I don’t really follow my numbers at each stadium so I didn’t really have a bad impression of this field, but glad we got that first win of the series. Just want to turn the page and try to get another one tomorrow.It’s a beautiful field, passionate fans. I always look forward to playing here.
Q: Are you aware that today was 100 years to the day the original [Yankee] Stadium opened and Babe Ruth homered?Angels’ Shohei Ohtani heads for home after hitting a two-run home run against the New York Yankees during the first inning on Tuesday in New York.I actually haven’t stepped outside the hotel in New York, so I couldn’t give you an answer.Q: Thoughts about being able to steal a base?I think it was good I was able to get to third. I think timing-wise, it was really good offensively.
