"Preseason game, Dodgers vs. Angels" (23rd, Los Angeles)

Before the game, Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani chatted with his former teammate, Angels outfielder Mike Trout, on the field. After hugging outfielder Jo Adell, Ohtani hugged Trout. After that, Ohtani, Trout and Adell talked together. After taking a commemorative photo of the three of them, Ohtani and Trout talked more, and finally hugged each other before leaving.

This scene became a hot topic on social media, with posts such as "Trautani is so emotional," "It's been a while since we've seen Trautani," and "Trautani before the game."

The Dodgers won two straight games in the opening series against the Cubs in Tokyo on the 18th and 19th. They will then return to the U.S. and play exhibition games before opening their season on the mainland against the Tigers on the 27th (28th Japan time).
