Carefully check Ma-kun’s “Japanese style” “There was no big difference” – Professional Baseball: Nikkan Sports

Masahiro Tanaka, a 32-year-old pitcher, pitched the first bullpen after returning to the old nest for the first time in eight years, carefully confirming the “Japanese way.” He entered the bullpen at 10:30 am on the 7th of the 2nd day of the 2nd cool at Kinbu Camp in Okinawa. 12 balls per foot shot and 40 balls after sitting in front of Ota, a candidate for regular receiver. We tested straight balls, curved balls, sliders, cut balls, splits, two seams and all kinds of balls.

“There are some gaps, but I think it wasn’t that big of a gap, so I think it’s okay at the moment. I was checking the feel of the mound in various ways, but I also wanted to check how much it could be. However, even for a type of ball, how does it feel to be thrown in its current state and if the ball can be firmly controlled where the catcher is holding it? “

The moment the ball was released, a pleasant gauntlet sound was heard as he uttered “Urya!” “I’m thinking of going with this this year,” he launched relentlessly. In the end, he hit the inside corner of the batter on the left at bat and closed with an “OK! Thank you!”

“For pitchers, it feels good to wear a uniform and pitch it, and it’s also the first bullpen, so I got a lot of attention and the camera shutter sound was ringing, so the power naturally I’m grateful as a player. At that time, I want to do it with firm control so as not to overwork. I think it’s definitely one more material because it was released more than I thought today. “

Now Cool keeps adjusting with another menu. We are planning to join the 3rd year general practice on the 11th, and will improve the condition for the actual release expected this month.
