On the 17th, Orix infielder Kotaro Kobayashi (23) promised to hit a "support shot" for Miyagi in the game against Lotte (18th at ZOZO). He also acknowledged that he has only had three wins and has not been blessed with a winning record, and exuded a strong sense of responsibility.
This season, the ace pitched a game with a batting average of .222, one Home Run, and four RBI. "He's my classmate, and he's our ace. I want to hit and help Miyagi win." When the game Rakuten (Hotto Kobe) was canceled that day, he practiced on his own indoors. For Miyagi, this was his final pitching appearance before the All-Star Game, and he said with determination, "I want to hit even more."
In recent years, they have been competing half-jokingly over the number of Home Run and the number of win. It has become a secret motivation. "I lose every year, but so far this year I've won," he said, a little proudly. Since turning pro in 20, they have been on a "five-game losing streak," but this season, Kurebayashi has five Home Run and is one step ahead. It would be ideal if the arches and wins were linked and the battle between the two of them would be at a high level.
His batting average for July was .159. "I have to work hard and get through this," he said, working hard to recover. Miyakure's bond is not influenced by condition or data. It's time to put his words into action. (Toru Nagata)
Miyagi vowed to be the bridge to a big winning streak. The game against Rakuten (Hotto Kobe) was canceled, so he was moved to pitch against Lotte (ZOZO) on the 18th. The ace, who missed three starts in 2011 due to rain, said with a wry smile, "There's nothing we can do about this." Despite recording the team's best ERA of 2.35, he has only three wins (three losses). The team has just ended a three-game losing streak, and he said, "I want to do my job as a starter and give the team momentum again," and is determined to pass the baton to Kuri, Soya, and Espinoza from the 19th onwards.
