On the first day of the second course of professional baseball and Hiroshima camp in Okinawa City, last year's rookie king, Masato Morishita, throws a slider taught by pitcher Kenta Maeda, a senior of the team playing in the big league. I confirmed the feeling.
Pitcher Morishita, who won 10 wins last season and became the rookie of the year, trained independently in Okinawa last month with pitcher Kenta Maeda, who was a former ace in Hiroshima and is active in the major leagues.
Pitcher Morishita entered the bullpen on the first day of the camp and threw 38 straights only. I threw 58 balls.
Then, on the 6th of the first day of the 2nd Cool, I entered the 3rd bullpen and threw a slider that bends wider than a cut ball for the first time, which I had never thrown before.
The sliders I threw were taught by pitcher Maeda, and of the 106 balls I threw with a bullpen, 4 were sliders.
Pitcher Morishita said about the slider, "It's better to have a wider bend than a cut ball. I want to take a missed swing." "I was told by Pitcher Maeda, but I can't say that I was told. It doesn't look right. I want to start with the catch ball carefully. "
