Seiya Suzuki, who transferred to the Cubs of the Major League Baseball, started in the open game for the first time.

Suzuki has been transferring to the Cubs of Major League Baseball from Hiroshima, a professional baseball team, using the posting system, signed a five-year contract, and has been participating in the team's camp since the 18th of this month.



Suzuki started in the second light in the open match against the Rockies in Mesa, Arizona on the 25th, and once, with the cheers of the fans, took the first turn at bat in the major leagues.



Suzuki made a full swing of a fastball that exceeded 150 km of the first ball, but it became a foul, the second ball missed the changing ball that became an out course ball, and the third ball got a hand on the changing ball that came in. The first turn at bat was a missed strikeout.



The second at-bat in the third inning was greeted with 1 out, 1st base and 2nd base, but again, the bat did not appear on the changing ball of the out course, and it was a strikeout that was overlooked.



He handled a shallow light fly in the third inning in the defensive, and was replaced without a defensive in the fourth inning, and his first open match was a no-hitter with two at bats and two strikeouts.

Suzuki "I was nervous and my legs trembled."

Suzuki, who finished his first appearance in the open game, said, "I enjoyed the game for the first time in a long time and I was happy with the cheers. As in Japan at the opening game, I was nervous and my legs trembled when I entered the first at bat." I looked back.



After that, he said, "I was glad I was able to do that because I had decided to go straight when the straight came first," he said. I think it is, but I don't think it is necessary to swing the ball that I thought was a ball, and if I do that, the batting will collapse. I had to strike out. "
