Orix 's No. 2 draft pick, Naruki Teranishi pitcher, will face the 1st Army hitter with a "one-pitch soul." The 153-kilogram right-hander, who is scheduled to make his first start in the Nippon-Ham match on the 15th, declared, "Don't lose sight of your true pitch, and I really want to be able to throw each and every one of them."
In Western League he pitched in seven games as a starter, with one win and three losses, and ERA 2.86. "I've been working on my issues every game and developing a form that allows me to control the ball well," he said, as he pursued the ability to throw to the inside and outside corners of hitter. In his last two games, he pitched six innings each, allowing one runs in a total of 12 inning. "I think I'm moving in the right direction, so I want to keep going," he said, turning his growth into confidence as he headed to mound.
"If I say one win, I feel like I can't do it..." said Teranishi, who has said his goal for his first year as a professional is "two wins." "I think everyone is watching me, so I want to show them that I'm doing what I can as a professional baseball player." First of all, he will do his best to grab his "first win."
