The 4th is the last day of the first season of the professional baseball Chunichi spring camp held in Chatan Town, Okinawa Prefecture. Pitcher Ko Neo, a sixth-year pitcher, served as the pitcher during batting practice, but he had some issues with his control.
Pitcher Neo is in his 6th year and is the first pitcher to start in the 1st team camp.
On the 4th, the final day of the first season, he served as a pitcher during batting practice, playing against mainstay player Yuki Okabayashi and Seiji Kamibayashi, who joined from Softbank.
Pitcher Neo struggled to control the ball at first due to his strained efforts, and his balls were conspicuously high and wide.
However, he gradually recovered, and in order to check the balance of his form, he threw a total of 39 pitches, including breaking balls, and hit five of them.
Immediately after getting off the mound, he headed to the bullpen to correct his lack of sense and threw about 40 pitches.
Pitcher Neo said, ``It's been a while since he pitched to a batter on the mound at a baseball stadium, so there was some shaky pitch at first.He will practice hard to make sure he can throw the ball he's aiming for.''
