In the second year of Lotte, a professional baseball team with a maximum speed of 163 kg, pitcher Roki Sasaki pitched in a practical batting practice and did not allow a hit.
In response to this, manager Tadahito Iguchi has announced that he will pitch for the first time in a professional game next week.
In the second year, pitcher Sasaki pitched in a practical batting practice held at ZOZO Marine Stadium, which is based in Chiba City, and played against four batters.
And from the third year player Kyota Fujiwara, he threw 35 balls, such as taking a strikeout, and did not allow a hit.
Pitcher Sasaki marked the fastest 163km in high school, but the fastest on the 5th was 152km.
After the practice, pitcher Sasaki said, "I wanted to see how the batter who was experiencing the 1st army would react with the intention of throwing in the strike zone. There were balls that could be hit firmly, but there were also balls that came off greatly. There was, so I think it would be nice to fix that. "
In addition, Director Iguchi said, "I want to decide the next pitch after seeing the condition of tomorrow," and said that he will pitch in the open game next week. "I am planning to pitch at this time. I have not pitched for one year last year So I think it will be a game with an opponent for the first time in a long time, but I want you to prepare well. "
