At professional baseball Hiroshima, two new foreign pitchers who had been delayed in coming to Japan due to the influence of the new coronavirus met together at Mazda Stadium in Hiroshima City and talked about their enthusiasm.
Joined the 2nd army from 27th
New foreigners from Hiroshima, Nebarascus from Lithuania and Bird from the United States, who came to Japan on the 9th of this month, finished the two-week waiting period and held a press conference on the 26th.
Both have played in Major League Baseball, and right-handed pitcher Neverauskas is the first professional baseball player from Lithuania.
It has a strong straight and throws sliders, curves, and change-ups.
Pitcher Neverauscus said, "I'm excited to finally have a press conference. I'm a starter as a type, but I want to contribute according to the team's policy. I want to push straight and show up in front of the fans as soon as possible." I was talking.
In addition, the left-handed bird pitcher is expected to play a role as a middleman, aiming to throw in about 40 games, and the fastball throws two seams, sliders, and curves.
Pitcher Bird said, "I'm very excited. I think I'm the type of middle pitcher. I want to compete in the strike zone and attack with a strong feeling. I want to meet my teammates and play baseball as soon as possible."
The two have been building their bodies and shoulders by going into the bullpen and practicing pitching before coming to Japan, so from the 27th they will join the 2nd army and make adjustments.
