Rays transfer Tsutsuka first participation in the open game 1 hits start immediately after February 24 8:57

Professional baseball player Yoshitomo Tsutsuka, who transferred from the DeNA to the major league raise, made his first appearance in the open game in Florida, hitting the first at-bat.

Tsutsuka, who transferred to Rays with a two-year contract, has been in camp in Florida since 18th, made his first appearance in the open game with the Yankees on the 23rd, in the 5th and left, and made his debut in the raises. .

Tsutsuka competed with David Hale, who won three seasons last season, on the first at bat in the second out of the second outing, catching his fourth 150km fastball and rebounding.

The hit ball played the pitcher's grab and became a hit rolling in front of the center, expanding the chance.

Tsutsuka played a minor contract pitcher who pitched with his fifth player in the second at bat four times, fouled the ball in the latter half of 150 km, stuck to the eighth ball, and made a foreball base.

Tsutsuka replaced him with a substitute here, and his first open game was a hit with one hit and one foreball made his debut.

Tsutsuka recalled, "It was a lie to say that I had no excitement at all, but I felt like I was playing in my head firmly."

He said, "I think the strike zone and pitcher's timing are different from those in Japan. The trajectory of the ball will change completely even with the same ball type, so I'd like to check it until the start of the race."
