Pitcher Takahisa Hayakawa, the fastest left-handed pitcher who joined Rakuten in the first place in the draft, practiced pitching with a bullpen for the first time.
Pitcher Hayakawa, who joined the team from Waseda University in the first place in the draft, has been working on voluntary training jointly with other new players since the 10th of this month.
On the 18th, after warming up with running and catching balls, I entered the bullpen for the first time and practiced pitching.
Pitcher Hayakawa made a catcher stand and threw 26 sharp straights powerfully, while making it about 50% of the power, and appealed to the leaders such as Shinichiro Koyama for the smooth adjustment.
Pitcher Hayakawa has decided to join the 1st Army at a camp scheduled to be held in Okinawa Prefecture from the 1st of next month.
Pitcher Hayakawa said, "I think that starting in the 1st army is expected as an immediate force, so I would like to build my body so that I can meet the expectations."
