World Baseball Classic (WBC) Japan representative “Samurai Japan” Yu Darvish answered questions from reporters after practice on the 2nd, ahead of the “Samurai Japan Series” Chunichi match. Q: How about the third live BP, pitching again? Q: Were there any differences between the Chunichi opponents after the net was removed and the defense increased? There was. Q: I felt like I was struggling with control of the ball a little in the early stages, but what about you? So, when I thought about Mr. Chunichi’s future situation, I was very upset, and from there I couldn’t even go to the right side of the in-course, but I think I gradually came to a sense. Q: Do you feel better since the bullpen and the last live BP? I do. Q: After you struck out at the end, I wonder if Nakamura said, “That was good.” Darvish: It was a split, but during this off-season practice, I wanted to throw a split that went inside the right. However, I was able to throw a very good split at the end, so I was very happy about that. Q: In terms of pitching overall, what was your best takeaway today? I think it was good that the last one was thrown without depending on the slider, such as a curve. Q: I don’t have time for the main race, how is the finish? I don’t think so. Q: How do you plan to prepare for the main event? Darvish: I will review my training and care so that I can improve my condition even a little. I’m going to try not to be careful. Japan’s next match is the “Samurai Japan Series” against Chunichi, which will start at 7:00 on Friday, March 3.
