Orix Alen Kuri pitcher (34) showed his spirit of "OK for one day" to Japan 1 from 3rd place on the 8th. He is proud of his stamina, which has experienced pitching in 3 and 4 days since his time in Hiroshima. To the CS 1st stage (S) against Nippon-Ham starting from the 11th, I imagined the success of the big wheel.
"Whether it's the first or second year of junior high school (Sunday), I just swing my arm firmly. When I'm really told to 'go', I just go for it." In the 2011 CS, where he played as a member of Hiroshima, he pitched from the first set to the final set, going from relief to starting pitcher, with only three days between sets. "I love pitching," he said with a cheerful voice.
Yamashita will start in the first game of the first series against Nippon-Ham. If they win, he will be entrusted with mound in the second game. This season, his first year with Orix, he was in the starting lineup in June and was on standby as a reliever with only three days between starts. He volunteered to manager Kishida, saying, "I can do it." Espinosa is out of the starting lineup. With the final series against Softbank starting on the 15th, Kuri's toughness is very encouraging.
On this day, he pitched as the second pitcher in the Red vs. White game, which was attended by 4,600 people, some of whom paid to watch. He got three batters out of the first inning, and nodded, saying, "Short-term battles really do end in the blink of an eye. I want to be prepared to go anywhere." He is an acknowledged pitcher, and it was his time to show his true colors. (Osada Toru)
