Kenta Maeda, a pitcher of the Major League Baseball Twins, pitched in the open game on the 9th and appealed to the first pitcher in the Major League with a good pitch without any goals in the third inning.

Twins pitcher Maeda, who has entered the sixth year of the Major League Baseball, started the open game against the Orioles in Florida on the 9th in the middle of the 5th.



In the first inning, he hit the third baseman without any danger, and in the second inning, he got 2 outs, 1st base and 2nd base due to his own error, but he hit the 8th batter to a short ground ball and got through the pinch.



In the following three times, he took two strikeouts with his favorite slider and change-up, and made a tripartite retreat again, and got off the mound at this time.



In this game, pitcher Maeda threw three innings, one hit, no runs, no walks, and showed stable pitching with four strikeouts, with a maximum ball speed of 93 miles and 149.7 km.



Pitcher Maeda served as the opening pitcher five times during the professional baseball / Hiroshima era, but he had no experience in the major leagues so far and appealed to him for his first opening pitcher.



After the match, pitcher Maeda said, "I think it's better than last time and I think it's finished a lot. I think the number of balls will increase further, so I want to regain the feeling of suppressing the batter while tightening a little more fine control. I was talking.
