However, due to the postponement of the opening due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, we were temporarily adjusting in another menu, such as giving an injection to raise the condition of the right knee in late March.

On the 7th, pitcher Matsuzaka went up to the mound from 6 times in practice games with Chunichi held at the hometown MetLife Dome.

He gave a straight four-ball at the beginning, but the following one was hit by one of the good plays of the back and there was no goal.

Of the 15 pitches pitched by Matsuzaka, 14 of them were variable and the fastest was 136 kilometers. Matsuzaka commented through the team that “I haven't done everything I want to do, but as I increase the number of pitches, I want to regain various feelings”.

On the other hand, Director Tsuji Tsuji commented on pitcher Matsuzaka, "It's not a good time. The opening 1st army is not possible yet, so if we can make a firm rotation with 2nd arm, we will have an opportunity to be thrown by 1st army." He said, for the time being, the idea of ​​having the two forces coordinate.
