Pitcher Toyoki Tanaka Reflects on His Return to Professional Baseball

[Exclusive Interview/Former Giant Toyuki Tanaka Opens Up About Return to the Pitch]

In an exclusive interview, pitcher Toyoki Tanaka (29) opened up about his return to the mound after being sidelined by the Giants. Tanaka, who participated in a joint bid with 12 teams, struck out three batters, impressively hitting Yuhi with a fastball and grounding two and three with a fork. This marked his second at-bat, his first since 2019, following his signing with the Giants after receiving notice from Nippon-Ham that he was out of action. Tanaka’s performance has solidified his place in the Giants’ bullpen, having played in 31 games since joining the team last year. We will present an uncut version of the interview after the presentation.

“Reflecting on the Performance”

During the interview, Tanaka reflected on his performance, expressing, “I had an ideal situation in mind, but I’m not entirely satisfied with my performance. However, overall, I believe it wasn’t a bad outing.”

• Fastest speed recorded: 148km
• Last ball thrown: Fork

He continued by acknowledging the need to focus on his speed and ability to strike out, stating, “I’m not proud of my speed, angle, and ability to strike out. However, I’ve been working towards improving these areas, so I don’t think it’s a lost cause.”

Tanaka also shared his strategy for the game, revealing, “My style so far has been straight and fork pitches. I believed it was crucial to maintain this approach during today’s game.”

Describing his performance, Tanaka humbly remarked, “It seems it was just a coincidence, including the people who came to see it today. That is if you play 140 games. Rather than control, it’s straight, and the fork is strong and forward even when it’s engaged. I was able to hit it straight without going over the airport.”

List “Trial 2023”.

“I’m not proud of myself though.”

–Pitching is today

I had an ideal situation, but it’s a bit far from that, but I think it wasn’t bad in the end.

— The fastest speed is 148km

After all, be aware of speed. I’m not proud of my speed, angle, and ability to strike out, but I’ve been aiming for that, so I don’t think it’s a bad thing.

— The last ball you hit was

I kept forking.

–straight and fork

That’s about my style so far, and I thought it wouldn’t make sense for me if I threw it low and low today.

It seems it was just a coincidence, including the people who came to see it today. That is if you play 140 games. Rather than control, it’s straight, and the fork is strong and forward even when it’s engaged. I was able to hit it straight without going over the airport.
