“It is no exaggeration to say that it was achieved with batteries.”
The title of the blog is “Roki Sasaki”. Mr. Yoshii, who had heard from Sasaki before he pitched that he was in a bad condition, saw his first 161km fastball and saw it.
“I turned over with Masuda. (What’s wrong!)”
Tsukko. Pitcher Naoya Masuda (32) also seems to be surprised.
Regarding the record of this perfect game and 13 consecutive strikeouts of professional baseball and 19 strikeouts of one game in Thailand, Mr. Yoshii said, “It is no exaggeration to say that it was achieved with a battery,” said Lotte Ko Matsukawa. He also praised the catcher (18). He analyzed, “Since Sasaki is a child who often shakes his head (the type of ball distribution that he wants to think about himself), he must have had a good meeting before the game.”
On top of that, he was amazed at the speed of growth, saying, “I didn’t think I would achieve a perfect game in the spring of the third year.”
