A new ball change-up thrown in the Seibu battle that was perfectly sealed twice
Softbank suffered a big defeat with 0-8 in the Seibu match of “Kyushun Miyazaki Baseball Games” held at Ikimenomori Sports Park in Miyazaki City on the 23rd. Kazuki Sugiyama, the right-handed pitcher who is aiming to enter the opening rote, was the only one who left a strong impact in the game that ended in “cold” content like the weather of the day.
Sugiyama went up to the mound from the 6th inning as the 3rd place of the day. At the beginning of Watanabe, the speed gun display of the stadium showed the fastest 155km straight strikeout of the day, and Yamamura continued to strike out straight. After that, he put together two innings with no hits, no runs, and three strikeouts without a single runner. It was perfect pitching while other pitchers were lacking in vividness, such as running a walk.
Tsuyoshi, who boasts the fastest speed of 160 kilometers, was infected with the new coronavirus in January and started camp in Group C in Chikugo. He was a little late, but joined the Miyazaki camp on the 15th. He took steps such as pitching in the red and white game, and made a good pitch in his first pitching in an external game. Even with the ability to control the task, he walked with no walks and said, “I wasn’t worried because I came in a few actual battles, but I thought about how I could overcome the challenges of the last three years in the match.” I let you.
There was something that caught my eye in the pitching of the day. That is a change-up that sinks around 130 kilometers. Until last season, Sugiyama mainly had straights, sliders, cut balls, and forks, and change-ups were not included in the types of balls used in the game. He was throwing it as a form-making ball at the camp last fall, but it was actually pitched to the batter at the first pitching of an external game this spring.
