00:51the Cy Young award this is so amazing when you think about a leadoff batter going to pitch the bottom half of the
00:57inning and that's exactly what Otani is doing grounds one right side nice play to his right and frazier
01:04gets the out took a hit away from Otani as that was headed for that little gap and into right field and
01:10frazier representing the pirates made that play nice play by adam frazier as he and tatis were kind of
01:18crisscrossing frazier in front the second baseman makes the play for out number one is vladimir guerrero

01:46same time 111.1 and here he is wait we just saw him at the plate shohei Otani now on the mound to start
01:55this game and part of the reasoning has to do with the fact that the players wanted him as a pitcher they
