織田は最速157キロの直球が武器の右腕。22日のプロ野球ドラフト会議では1位指名が有力視されていた。有望選手がNPBを経由せずに大リーグに挑戦するのは極めて異例。

織田は「一番の困難は言葉の壁。若いうちから生の英語に触れることで、大リーグに上がった際に意思疎通を図れる」と説明した。大リーグ球団とマイナー契約を結び、メジャーへの昇格を目指すとみられる。米国の大学への進学も選択肢の一つとした。

2年生だった昨春の選抜大会では優勝に貢献した。今夏の全国選手権大会で4強入りを果たし、大会後はU18(18歳以下)高校日本代表に選ばれた。

Shohei Otani to start Game 3 as well, US media: ``Hope is not a strategy''

Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers continues to have a slump with a batting average of .150 and no home runs in six postseason games. While there are concerns about the effects of his upper right arm and left knee, he entered the starting lineup as the ``No. 6 designated hitter'' in Game 3 of the NLCS against the Brewers. Manager Roberts explained that Ohtani is satisfied with the change in batting order. On the other hand, local media questioned his appointment, with The Athletic reporting that he might not be in the starting lineup for Game 3, and the Los Angeles Times arguing that he should have been removed from the roster.
