Shintaro Hanshin Fujinami (26), who climbed to the top of the eighth inning with a 2-point lead, shot 160 kilometers in Thailand, his fastest.

Fujinami has been tremendously swaying since he returned to the relay. Since my arm swings well, I can lift 160kg, have good control, and of course few balls are missing. The starting lineup is a long time 6 to 7 times, like the pace, and I have to think about several things, but the relay will do the best it can with about 20 balls per inning. Shows the aptitude of the guy who wields explosive power. I’ve never seen Fujinami so happy, and I think he was the one who felt the most response.

It is the first role that arises suddenly in an emergency situation of the team, but with outstanding stability, he is consolidating himself as “8 times man”. Suarez also put in 160 kg on this day, but I think the formula to get 160 kg in 8 and 9 strokes is the first in professional baseball. At the 100-mile level, hitters can barely handle it. I can’t wait to see what kind of throws will be made in the four consecutive battles of the great giants from the second. Will he eventually return to the starting lineup or will it be an opportunity for the closer? You definitely have a good experience. (Daily sports critic)
