Ohtsu was drafted by the Softbank Hawks in the second round of the 2022 NPB draft, and he notched 13 holds with a solid 2.43 ERA in 46 appearances in 2023.[1] He pitched 1 1/3 shutout innings in the 2023 PLCS First Stage Game 1, then he relieved Yuki Tsumori in the 10th inning of Game 3. However, he allowed a walk-off single to Hisanori Yasuda, and the Chiba Lotte Marines beat the Hawks. Ohtsu was selected into the 2024 NPB All-Star Game, and he relieved Masaru Fujii in the 4th inning of Game 2. He retired the first three batters he faced, but he then gave up a pair of singles to Domingo Santana and Hideki Nagaoka. Ryuki Watarai then drove in a run with a grounder, and Ohtsu forced Shogo Sakakura to hit another grounder to end his work; Andres Machado relieved him.[2]
