Giants pitcher Shosei Togo, who has been selected to represent Japan in the WBC = World Baseball Classic, entered the bullpen for the third time at a camp held in Miyazaki City, throwing in 106 pitches and making steady adjustments. I showed you the first time.
On the 5th, the last day of the first course of the Giants' camp, Togo, who won the most strikeouts last season and was selected as the WBC's Japan representative, entered the third bullpen.
In the bullpen, we practiced pitching using official professional baseball balls and official WBC balls.
Togo pitched 37 pitches on the first day of the camp and 83 pitches on the 3rd, increasing the number of pitches at a faster pace than usual. He was practicing and seemed to be making good preparations for the WBC.
Pitcher Togo said, "I was planning to throw about 80 to 90 pitches, but I threw more than 100 pitches because the straight fingers and the breaking balls were good. In the official WBC ball, there is a little more adjustment to the curve of the breaking ball. That's why I want to do it so that I can be satisfied," he said with a fulfilling expression.
