His first start was an <a href="/wiki/Interleague" class="mw-redirect" title="Interleague">Interleague</a> start against the <a href="/wiki/Hiroshima_Toyo_Carp" title="Hiroshima Toyo Carp">Hiroshima Toyo Carp</a> and he went seven innings, giving up two runs on seven hits, walking three and striking out four. He would be credited with the win, but could not duplicate his success as he gave up 3 runs or more in 5 of his next 7 starts. </p><p>In his first full season in 2008, the young lefty had a successful season. The first two starts he made, Ōtonari notched <a href="/wiki/Complete_game" title="Complete game">complete game</a> victories, also only giving up one run in 18 innings while recording 18 strikeouts. Despite losing the next two starts, Ōtonari still threw 8 innings in each start. The rest of the season was a roller-coaster ride, as his success seemed to hinge on how many batters he struck out. Late in the season, he suffered an elbow injury that prematurely ended his season. Still, Ōtonari finished with a respectable 11–8 with a 3.12 <a href="/wiki/Earned_run_average" title="Earned run average">ERA</a>, spinning six complete games in 21 starts, striking out 138 batters in 155 and 2/3 innings. </p><p>The elbow injury seemed to linger with Ōtonari in 2009, as he was slow to start and did not have a quality start until May 6. He was demoted to <i>ni-gun</i> in early June and did not return until later in the month. In September, Ōtonari was sent to the <a href="/wiki/Bullpen" title="Bullpen">bullpen</a> and after five appearances there, he seemed to respond at the end of the month, recording two consecutive quality starts. However, he was sent back to the bullpen for the <a href="/wiki/Playoff" class="mw-redirect" title="Playoff">playoffs</a>, where his Hawks were knocked out in the first round. </p><p>The 2010 season was also rough for Ōtonari, but mostly because in 13 of his 19 starts, the Hawks offense scored three runs or less in games that he started. He was doing very well in his lone playoff start, throwing five shutout innings, but he was lifted to go to the bullpen in a game the Hawks lost en route to a heartbreaking series loss that left them one game from the <a href="/wiki/Japan_Series" title="Japan Series">Japan Series</a>. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/2011_Nippon_Professional_Baseball_season" title="2011 Nippon Professional Baseball season">2011</a> season, Ōttonari finished the regular season with a 3–0 record, a 2.34 ERA. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/2012_Nippon_Professional_Baseball_season" title="2012 Nippon Professional Baseball season">2012</a> season, Ōttonari got a career high record. He finished the regular season with a 12–8 record, with a 2.03 ERA, spinning 6 complete games and 3 <a href="/wiki/Shutouts_in_baseball" class="mw-redirect" title="Shutouts in baseball">shutouts games</a> in 25 starts, striking out 134 batters in 177 and 1/3 innings.
