Yakult’s first draft rookie Yasunobu Okugawa was the first professional starter in the game against Hiroshima on the 10th. Although he debuted in the 1st Army, he retired with 9 hits in the middle of the 3rd inning, 2 strikes and 4 dead balls. , and suffered the first professional black star. Toshihiro Noguchi, who has been active as a receiver for Yakult, Nippon Ham, Hanshin and Yokohama (currently DeNA) for 21 years, still said: “I have no choice but to wait for next season.”

I was blessed by a professional. The 1st Army’s first boarding opponent is Hiroshima, which boasts the most destructive power in the league. Additionally, the first hitter was Makoto Suzuki, the fourth hitter for SAMURAI JAPAN, who entered the team’s first outstanding success rate of 30% for five consecutive years. Suddenly, the 148km fastball in the middle was hit from the 3-1 count and was hit by a second baseman that went past the right side of the midrange hand. Hiroshi Tanaka continued to hit the left side at 147km, and Nagano caught a fork in the outside corner, but was unlucky enough to hit the third base infield. Matsuyama caught a 148-kilometer fastball in the outer corner and allowed the two-point first baseman to smash through left center.

Still with a pinch from 1st and 3rd base, Dobayashi swung with a fork from a 2-2 count. Takahashi University was fouled, and the spot where he cut with a high outside angle slider on the 10th ball was the biggest highlight of the day.

In the third inning, 142 km from first base without death was carried to the center stage of the right wing seat, and Sakakura’s pitcher’s attack hit and Dobayashi’s Nakamae hit, and he was ordered to leave. Another goal was added because the second star hit the floor in a timely manner and returned the runner Okugawa out.

Although it was a 57-ball KO, the number of balls in the 2nd Army was the highest at 56 balls when it was suppressed to 5 innings, 1 hit, 1 4 balls and no runs in the game against Eastern Japan Ham on April 1. month. Mr. Noguchi said: “Even if I kept the number of goals free, I would have left between 50 and 60 balls. Regardless of the content, the number of balls may have been as planned.”
