Save the ball boy-. Hanshin Aoyagi Akihiro (26) participated in the pitching nomination practice at Koshien on the 8th. A feather was thrown for the starting pitcher on the 10th (Koshien). On the day of the event, pitcher Fujikawa Kyuji (40) retired. I promised to set up save 246 in Japan and America to a big senior who decided to get on the board in the ninth inning.
He was entrusted with the starting lineup for the last giant game of the season, which will be Fujikawa’s retirement game. After finishing the practice at Koshien, Aoyagi expressed her passion.
“(Fujikawa) Of course, Kyuji-san’s retirement match is of course … There is no match where I can come off the mound behind. Of course, I would like to connect (with relief) in a good way. “.
Initial training and relief. Although he was in a different position, he always advised me on what he noticed. “They taught me my attitude as a professional baseball player and my efforts, and I always keep that teaching in mind.” On the last day of boarding such an important senior, I was entrusted with the starting lineup.
Regarding Fujikawa’s entry, pitching coach Kanamura stated that he would be designated as closer, saying: “The position that the ball boy has always protected. I would like him to pitch it in the place that suits him best.” At the same time, Aoyagi’s mission was decided. The ideal is to pitch well up to eight times and entrust the mound to Fujikawa. Even if that is not possible, there is no choice but to connect with the relay team with the main development.
Aoyagi himself has participated in 20 games this season with 7 wins and 8 losses and a defense rating of 3.50. The number of pitch innings is 115 times 2/3, and if the remaining 4 times 1/3 is thrown, the goal is to hit the prescribed number of pitches (120 times this season) for the second year in a row.
“I was aware of the regular pitch times before the start of the season. It’s the last game so I’m not trying to finish with a white star, I’m always aiming for a white star.”
As a pitcher who has kept the starting rotation, to clear the norm. Then he swings his right arm for Fujikawa to close the last mound of active duty with save 246 in Japan and the United States. (Kenji Miki)
