Two new foreign pitchers from DeNA, a professional baseball player whose arrival in Japan was delayed due to the influence of the new coronavirus, held a press conference together and talked about their enthusiasm.
Two people who joined DeNA are Brooks Kriske from the United States who came to Japan on the 13th of this month and Hansel Joel Marcelo from the Dominican Republic who came to Japan on the 14th.
After the quarantine period, on the afternoon of the 23rd, we held a press conference together at the Yokohama Stadium, our home base.
Of these, 28-year-old Kriske is a right-handed pitcher who throws a fastball with a small takeback, a fastball in the 150-kilometer range, and a split with a large head.
Last season, he moved from the Yankees to the Orioles in the middle of the season and pitched in 12 games with two teams.
DeNA expects to be active in relief, and pitcher Kriske said, "I hear that the level of baseball in Japan is high. I want to be active throughout the year and become a pitcher trusted by managers and teammates." He talked about his enthusiasm.
On the other hand, 19-year-old pitcher Marcelino is a member of the training contract.
He is a right-handed pitcher who has an angled ball to throw from his tall body. At the press conference, he said, "I've been working hard until I came here, and I'm in very good condition. I told you.
