Ondřej Satoria (born 26 February 1997) is a Czech baseball pitcher for Arrows Ostrava of the Czech Baseball Extraliga. He represents the Czech Republic national team in international competition.
Professional career
Satoria played with Arrows Ostrava in the 2022 and 2023 seasons.[1] At the 2023 European Champions Cup, he pitched nine scoreless innings over two games.[2]
Satoria was recognized as the 2023 Sportsman of the Year by the city of Ostrava.[3]
International career
Satoria was selected to the Czech Republic national team for four different U-23 Baseball World Cups, in 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2021. His best performance was in 2021, when he went 11.2 innings pitched with a 1–1 record and a 2.40 ERA.[4] He was again on the Czech roster for the 2023 World Baseball Classic qualifiers, working a scoreless 0.2 innings.[5]
At the 2023 World Baseball Classic, Satoria made a single appearance in a start against heavily favored Japan; he allowed three runs over three innings of work, taking the loss in the 10–2 defeat.[6] Nevertheless, he made international headlines when he struck out three Samurai Japan players: Lars Nootbaar, Kensuke Kondoh, and Shohei Ohtani.[7][8][9] The strikeout of Ohtani, considered one of the best players in the world, by a part-time electrician was described by The Japan Times as "one shining moment" where "David toppled Goliath."[10]
Satoria was also part of the Czech roster for the 2023 European Baseball Championship.[11]
