Orix Waguespack pitched no runs five times on his first pitch in Japan
■ Orix 1-0 Seibu (29th, Kyocera Dome)
Orix’s new helper Jacob Waguespack made a shocking debut. He pitched for the first time in Japan in the Seibu match held at Kyocera Dome on the 29th, and scored 3 hits and no runs in the 5th inning. The sharp curve thrown from a height of 198 cm surprised the fans with “a head I have never seen” and “egui”.
Waguespack, who belonged to the Blue Jays last season, has pitched in 27 major games in total. His first mound in Japan was a straight ball with a maximum speed of 157 km, and even a curve was thrown. He wasn’t blessed with the support of the batting line and couldn’t get his first victory, but it was a promising content.
“Parsol Pa League TV” official YouTube released the video. “It’s okay because it sinks like a sudden brake.” “I can’t hit it like this.” “The changing ball is really good.” “It seems to be useful in both starting pitchers and relief pitches.” There were a lot of expected comments.
