Many pitchers of the World Baseball Classic (WBC) Japan national team “Samurai Japan” answered reporters’ questions after practice on the 22nd. Q: How was today’s bullpen? Many: The curveballs were good in the early stages, but I was throwing them with the feeling that they were missing a bit in the second half. Q: What kind of issues and goals did you enter the bullpen? Q: What is your current physical condition?: I think you are doing well. Q: How does the ball feel? Balls are fine. Q: The game is about to start, but how do you want to make adjustments, including trial and error? Q: I was in the bullpen with Ryoji Kuribayashi, but there were many things that inspired me and I learned a lot: I had lunch with him, and during those times, there were various routines and preparations before going up to the mound. I was able to hear about things like how to get started and how I entered from the first year to the second year. I was able to look at it from the side today, and the reproducibility of Trackman’s data was really amazing. When I played against him, I didn’t make any mistakes when I threw, so I thought that the reproducibility was high from this point. Q: When you talked with pitcher Kuribayashi, were there any parts you wanted to imitate? Many: I have my good points, and Mr. Kuribayashi has good points about Mr. Kuribayashi. Well, I also saw the routine, so… don’t you want to imitate it? But it’s the same with Trackman’s data, there are almost no throwing mistakes, and the recall rate is high, so I thought again that if I didn’t become like that, I wouldn’t be able to become a great pitcher like Mr. Kuribayashi. Q: A lot about playing with talented pitchers: I really don’t like pitchers during the season if they’re enemies, but it’s reassuring to have them on my side. That’s why I’m not obsessed with “holding down” myself at the moment, so I want to do my best in the position I’ve been entrusted with. There are a lot of really great pitchers out there, and I’m still in my second year, so I think I’ll have to produce results so I won’t lose. Q: There are many things about pitcher Yu Darvish that have left an impression on me: You can answer whatever you ask him. I thought again. I think it’s reassuring that he taught me how to throw the ball, which is my problem, and how to throw it, and how to throw it that suits me. I was also the one who watched it on TV, so I was nervous at first, but Mr. Darvish called out to me and created an environment that was easy to work in, so I am grateful. Q: The actual battle is approaching. How do you want to adjust in the future? Many: I think it would be nice if I could express what I’m working on right now on the mound. Q: Many people have an image of holding pitchers in international tournaments: I think the game will move more and more toward the end of the game, and the tension will increase. was In addition to that, the excitement of the audience at WBC is unique to foreign countries, not Japan. . Q: What kind of pitching would you like to do if you were entrusted with holding? Q: There are many countermeasures and preparations for throwing in the midst of cheers: Do you have any countermeasures or preparations? But honestly, even in such a situation, I think it would be nice if I could clarify what I should do and throw it. Samurai Japan’s first real game is scheduled to be a warm-up match against Softbank on the 25th. *There is no narration in this video. note that.
