SoftBank new pitcher Moore is the first bullpen on February 16 20:23
Professional baseball At Softbank's Miyazaki Camp, pitcher Matt Moore, left arm of 54 wins in the Major League who had just joined the team four days ago, entered the bullpen for the first time.
Moore is a 30-year-old from the United States. He was a tall left pitcher measuring 1 meter 90 centimeters and won 54 victories in major leagues, including the Raises and Giants, and joined the team this month.
On the 16th, I entered the bullpen for the first time with the leadership of directors Kimiyasu Kudo and others.
This was my first time pitching with a Japanese ball. I tried straight, curved, change up, cut ball and all kinds of pitches and threw 53 balls.
Regarding the difference between the Major League and the Japanese ball, Moore responded, saying, "The Japanese ball was better curved and it was better for me." He said, "I was nervous to see so many people. I'm glad I was thrown once. I want to communicate more with catchers."
Mr. Kudo said, "I felt that I was making good adjustments in the United States. I just wish I could throw that much."
