In the Giants match on the 19th, he took a strikeout from Kazuma Okamoto.
Padres’ Yu Darvish pitcher praised “Pitcher Akira Neo” who had just turned. On the 19th (20th Japan time), he updated his Twitter account and tweeted, “Pitcher Neo, it’s wonderful, his slider is also a first-class item.”
With the end of the interleague game, Neo turned into a pitcher for the first time in the giant game held at Vantelin Dome on the 19th. He showed a part of his talent, such as taking a strikeout from the giant Kazuma Okamoto infielder.
Darvish tweeted with this pitching video. In response to the fans’ questions, he said, “I have little experience as a professional pitcher, but it’s amazing just to be throwing that many balls in the strike zone! It’s an impression that there is only a challenge or a margin for growth.” I’m tweeting.
