Professional baseball, Seibu's camp in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture was on the third day, and last year, pitcher Kaima Taira, who won the rookie king, polished a straight of 160 km at the fastest.
In his fourth year, Pitcher Taira pitched in 54 relief games last season and became a rookie of the year with an ERA of 1.87 and 33 holds.
On the 3rd, pitcher Taira entered the bullpen with a device that can measure the number of revolutions and the trajectory of the ball and practiced pitching.
Pitcher Taira threw about 50 balls while changing the angle of his arm and checking the data to polish the straight with a maximum speed of 160 km, and despite the early stages of the camp, he measured 153 km at the fastest on the 3rd. That is.
Pitcher Taira said, "I didn't expect this speed to come out at this time. I want to take good care of myself so as not to get injured."
On top of that, he said about the straight, "I want to be able to throw a fastball faster than last year. If that happens, it will be difficult for the batter to hit."
