Mariners Hirano Minor team practice participation Corona infection in June 15th August 10:47

Yoshihisa Hirano of Mariners, a major league that had been delayed in adjusting due to the new coronavirus, joined the minor league team under his control and immediately practiced pitching with a bullpen.

Hirano, who moved from Diamondbacks to the Mariners this season, was infected with the new coronavirus in June this year, and after recovery, he was adjusting for about 3 weeks in Arizona.

On the 14th, Pitcher Hirano joined a minor league team under his control in Tacoma, WA and participated in the practice in a uniform number 6.

In practice, we immediately entered a bullpen and throwed 14 balls, and tried a quick motion. We made adjustments assuming the actual battle from the first day of the meeting, and depending on the team, on the 15th we will practice pitching in the form of playing against a batter.

After practicing, Pitcher Hirano interviewed online and said, "I came here after I was in good condition without getting rushed in Arizona. I have a strong desire to throw it in the Mound of the major league, so I will just finish it quickly to help the team." Said his enthusiasm for the first pitching at Mariners.

``We need to practice pitching once or twice against the batter, but I think we'll get together soon,'' Mariners Scott Service coach Scott Hirano said, saying she could join the team as early as next week. I showed you.
