The world's oldest ball player Chunichi Yamai Throw 174 balls, February 6 17:41
Professional baseball The middle day Okinawa camp entered the second course from the 6th. The pitcher, the oldest ball player in the world, 41, pitcher Daisuke Yamai threw the most 174 balls in this camp.
The 41-year-old pitcher Yamai won the most titles six years ago, but last season he was only three wins in 13 games with the rise of young players.
In the pitcher's oldest ball world this season, he makes adjustments with a strong feeling of throwing until he breaks into the starting rotation.
Also, the opening of the season will be accelerated due to the effects of the Tokyo Olympics, so we are trying to finish at a faster pace than usual.
On the 6th, I practiced the bullpen for the 4th time in this camp, and I put up a batter and pitched in quick motion assuming a count and a runner. While receiving advice from Director Go Yoda on how to use the lower body, he left one and continued throwing, throwing the most 174 balls in this camp.
Pitcher Yamai said, "I don't think there is much chance to be thrown in the actual battle, so I pitched assuming the actual battle. I want to throw about 1500 balls during the camp."
