A pitcher from Shohei Ohtani’s high school alma mater throws the ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium during a Dodgers game against the San Francisco Giants. Yuuri Teramoto, a first-year student at Hanamaki Higashi High School, takes the mound for the pregame throw, which marks a rare public appearance tied to Ohtani’s background.

Earlier this month, Ohtani is ruled out from pitching again for the season, limiting his on-field participation as a pitcher. Even so, coverage notes Ohtani remains involved with the Dodgers organization in other ways, including spending time with the team in the dugout on a recent game day. The outlets focus on different surrounding details—one emphasizes the connection to Ohtani’s pitching absence, while another provides additional context about Ohtani’s recent presence at the ballpark—while both center the same ceremonial first-pitch event by Teramoto.
