Nippon-Ham Fighter Yuki Saito, who is aiming to recover from an injury to his right elbow, went up to the mound of the actual battle for the first time this season in a game of the 2nd army, and suppressed 1 inning with 3 people.
Pitcher Saito went up to the mound of the actual battle for the first time this season as the second person from the 6th in the Eastern League match against DeNA of the 2nd army held in Kamagaya City, Chiba Prefecture.
The fastest ball speed was 132 km, but I hit three batters with nine balls using a ball that changes at hand.
Pitcher Saito said, "I'm glad I ended up with no runs. My right elbow is no problem anymore. I'm impatient because it's July, but I want to be able to become a force of the 1st army as soon as possible."
In the future, pitcher Saito will aim to be promoted to the 1st army by repeatedly climbing the actual battle while checking the condition.
