Ishida, who was the opening pitcher for the second consecutive year since 2017, “I have to enter the frame of six people.”
■ DeNA 2-1 Seibu (Open Battle, 9th, Yokohama)
In DeNA, where the starting pitchers are remarkable in the strong open game, there are two mid-level left arms who bring out the taste of Ibushi silver. In the Seibu match held at Yokohama Baseball Stadium on the 9th, pitcher Kenta Ishida, who was 29 years old in the 8th year, started the game and pitched 5 innings with 4 hits, 3 hits and 1 run. Haruhiro Hamaguchi, who will be 27 years old on the 16th of this month in the sixth year, also pitched in 2nd place, allowing 4 hits and 1 walk, but surpassed 2 innings without any runs. We are steadily moving forward to enter the opening Rote.
On this day, Ishida allowed runners every time, but the only goal was “1” by Tonosaki’s solo for the first time. He himself said, “I had a lot of four balls, and if I could throw at a good tempo, I think I would have had more points on the BayStars side.” I was throwing it, so there is no problem. “
He has been the opening pitcher for the second consecutive year since 2017, but due to his versatility, he has often played both starting pitchers and relief pitches according to the team situation. However, he pitched 33 games and started only one game last season, and his ERA was the worst 5.73 after entering the pro. He is trying to start again this season with only one starting lineup.
“I have to be in the frame of six opening Rotes. I think it’s best to get results, so I’m on the mound,” he says with an extraordinary determination. A man who has demonstrated his strength in “handyman business” is playing a game of riding or sledding this year.
