Restart at Lotte Sawamura The first pitching is perfect pitching September 8 23:44

"I will never forget my cheering. From now on, I will do my best for Marines."



Takuichi Sawamura who responded to the hero interview with a refreshing look.


As a Lotte pitcher, I was prepared to restart.



Pitcher Sawamura, who played for nine seasons as a giant, joined the group in draft first place.


Winning 11 wins from the first year and winning the rookie award, in the sixth year he won the most saved title.



The team, which has been obliged to win as an alliance in the ball world, has sometimes been unsuccessful, and despite being severely criticized, it has risen to the mound as a mainstay for many seasons.



This season, 13 games have an ERA of 6.08.

I also experienced the humiliation of three military forces.

The opponent of this exchange trade was a young infielder at 24 years old, and there was a big difference in the performance in the 1st army.



Sawamura pitched goodbye to his teammates and others at the giant's 2nd military facility on the morning of the 8th, and replied at a Lotte recruitment meeting that started before 1 pm.



"There's nothing negative about it. I think I'm here for what you want, so I want to be a force with that team. That's it."

The opportunity to prove that thought came soon.

Six times of one point lead at Nippon-Ham match held on the night of the 8th at the home base ZOZO Marine Stadium.

When there was an announcement of pitcher Sawamura as the third person, there was the most applause from the stand on that day.

Sawamura's uniform number 57, which he wears, was too late for the match, and he went up to the mound with the batting pitcher number 106.

Such a thing is not a problem, a fast ball over 150 km and a split that falls sharply are three consecutive strikeouts.

I overwhelmed the batter.

Pitcher Sawamura, who finished his first pitching at Lotte, calmly reflected on what could be said to be perfect.



"I don't think I have achieved a result just because it's one match, and I want to make an effort so that the players, managers, coaches, front desks, and fans who are involved in Marines are happy." ..



Director Hitoshi Iguchi, who pitched immediately after the team joined, evaluated Sawamura's pitch.

“The atmosphere of the stadium has changed completely. I think that a really wonderful teammate has come. I would like to use it again and again when there are opportunities.”



Lotte follows the leading Softbank by 0.5 games.



Sawamura, who was asked, "We may continue to climb in difficult situations," concludes.

"I have something I have experienced myself, so I hope I can express my experience properly on the mound. Because it is a team sport, I'm not the only one, so I can't waste a second for the people who support me." ..
