Shohei Ohtani strikes out twice in the exhibition game at Seoul
The Dodgers took on the Kiwoom Heroes in their first exhibition game in Seoul. As predicted, the franchise won the game with ease. However, Shohei Ohtani struck out twice as he was caught off-guard swinging.

In Ohtani's first at-bat in the opening frame, pitcher Ariel Jurado threw a high sinker that struck him out. In the second inning, he swung at a pretty high fastball.
Ohtani seems to be taking things slow, saving the best for the MLB regular season. The Dodgers went on to defeat the Kiwoom Heroes with a 14-3 final score. Jason Heyward drove in four runs while Freddie Freeman smashed a home run and a double.
Ohtani's performance was limited as he went to the plate second in line as the Dodgers designated hitter. It was an easy victory for the Dodgers and they are all set to take on Team Korea in their next exhibition game.
