Japan, MLB Seoul Series Broadcast Live on Terrestrial Channels… Ohtani’s Power is Amazing
Decision to broadcast live even practice games between Dodgers and Korean team
Japanese public broadcaster NHK and TV Asahi have decided to broadcast live on terrestrial channels the official opening game of the Major League Baseball (MLB),
the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, to be held in Seoul next month.
In addition, TV Asahi will broadcast live practice games between the Dodgers and Kiwoom Heroes and the Dodgers and the Korean National Baseball Team,
in which superstar Shohei Ohtani can play. 카지노사이트
Japanese media, including Sports Hochi, said on the 9th,
“The game between the Dodgers and San Diego on March 20 will be broadcast live by NHK,
and the game on the 21st will be broadcast live by TV Asahi,”
“TV Asahi will broadcast a practice game between the Dodgers and the KBO League Kiwoom Heroes on the 17th and the 18th.
“We decided to broadcast live the practice game between the Dodgers and the Korean national baseball team,” he said.
Sports Hochi added, “It is unusual to broadcast a MLB practice game live.”
The Dodgers and San Diego will play their opening two-game series at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on March 20th and 21st.
The opening series is drawing great attention from Japanese fans as it is expected to be the regular league debut of ‘superstar’ Shohei Ohtani,
who joined the Dodgers in the new season, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto,
who set a new record for the highest salary for an MLB pitcher.
There are many Japanese stars in San Diego as well.
Starting pitcher Yu Darubishu and recently Japanese bullpen bullpen Yuki Matsui have joined.
The top Japanese baseball stars will play a meaningful two-game series at Gocheok Dome in Seoul,
close to Japan.
However, it is difficult for Japanese fans to watch in person.
This is because Coupang Play, which holds the broadcasting rights for the tournament,
only allows Coupang Play members with mobile phones activated by a domestic telecommunications company to reserve game tickets.
Booking a ticket is also like picking a star in the sky.
Tickets for the opening game sold on the 29th of last month were sold out within 8 minutes of going on sale.
