Nagabata-san strikes 4 consecutive strikeouts
Mr. Shoichi Kaneda has set a number of records, including 400 wins that have never been reached before.
One of the most memorable matches in 20 years of professional baseball life was playing against Golden Rookie and Nagashima.
Mr. Kaneda dropped out of high school and became a professional. From the second year, we have won more than 20 wins every year, and the 9th year, the Showa 33 season. The opponent of the opening game is a giant who has won three leagues. The starting member was Shigeo Nagashima.
Nagashima marked 8 new home runs at Rikkyo University at Tokyo Roku University Baseball, and joined the giant with noise. In the open game, he made seven home runs in 19 games, and Nagashima-san's popularity was growing rapidly before the opening.
After retiring from active duty, Mr. Kaneda said that he had won 20 consecutive games and was a big pitcher in professional baseball. I was faced with a strong pride in the battle with Rookie.
As the word suggests, Mr. Kaneda showed his will as a professional senior by striking out three strikes in a row with a fast-paced ball and a large vertical curve.
Mr. Kaneda recalled the first match, "I was in good condition and went up to the mound while singing. I felt scared about the swing, but I couldn't lose anyway."
