Hanshin Iwasaki throws more than 120 balls Japan representative Inaba inspects February 5 19:06
At the Okinawa baseball camp of professional baseball in Hanshin, Japan's national team coach Atsushi Inaba watched pitcher Yu Iwasaki pitcher, who was expected to be the center of the relay, throw in with a bullpen and was highly evaluated as a left-throwing pitcher.
Iwasaki pitcher, a professional seventh-year left pitcher, threw a sharp fastball from a form with a low center of gravity and pitched in 48 games last season, marking an ERA of 1.01 and supporting the pitchers.
Up to this point, I have been pitching while being aware of the balance of my whole body, and on the last day of the first cool day, aiming for a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, I entered the bullpen while the Japanese national team manager Inaba visited for inspection. .
Iwasaki pitched about 120 pitches of his own straight, and Inaba, who was watching the pitching from just behind the catcher, showed a satisfactory expression.
Inaba said, "I felt that the work was smooth and quick for this time. The relay of the left pitcher is very valuable and one of the people I expect."
Iwasaki pitcher said, "I am able to throw so well. I want to have high goals so that the Tokyo Olympics representatives can choose." .
