Roki Sasaki, a professional baseball pitcher from Lotte, will start for the first time in the second half of the match against Rakuten, which will be held at Rakuten Seimei Park in Sendai City on the 3rd.

Pitcher Sasaki started in the Rakuten game held at ZOZO Marine Stadium in Chiba City on the 1st of last month, and struck out four times in one inning, lining up with the professional baseball record. , got off the mound without a run in 4 innings.



Then, the next day, the player registration for the 1st army was canceled, and after that, there was no pitching in the first half of the game.



Pitcher Sasaki returned to the actual battle after throwing one inning at the All-Star Game on the 27th of last month, and will start for the first time in the second half of the game against Rakuten at Rakuten Seimei Park on the 3rd.



Coach Tadahito Iguchi said, "I think there is a limit to the number of pitches, but how well can I throw within that limit?"



This is the first time he has pitched at Rakuten Seimei Park since March 27, when he pitched for the first time this season. Sasaki said, "It's been a long time since I've pitched, so I'll do my best to pitch as many innings as I can as a starting pitcher." I am commenting through the team.
