Yusei Kikuchi, who transferred to the Major League Baseball Blue Jays, threw a batter at the camp for the first time, marking the fastest 154km, and did not allow the main players to hit, and said a response.
Pitcher Kikuchi threw a batter at a camp in Florida on the 17th for the first time since he transferred to the Blue Jays.
Pitcher Kikuchi, who has been practicing pitching with a bullpen at home since January, went up to the mound in a new uniform and became a light fly with the first ball in the match against Springer who has hit a total of 196 home runs. He held down and took the second at-bat with the fastest 96-mile, 154.5-kilometer fastball of the day.
On this day, he threw 8 at-bats and 36 balls, centered on the main players of his teammates, and did not allow any batter to hit, showing a smooth adjustment in the new world.
If this goes on, his first pitch in the open game is expected to be the Yankees game on the 22nd of this month.
Pitcher Kikuchi said, "I got off to a very good start at the beginning. It's fun to play against each other as if the batter is a superstar and an all-star player, and there are many things to study even at the clubhouse, so from now on. I want to learn. "
