Softbank Hawks On the 13th, Ryusei Oe pitcher practiced on his own at Tamasta Chikugo in Fukuoka, and revealed that he and his former colleagues The Giants Izumiguchi "started" at the beginning of the year.
The two, who live in the same neighborhood, worked up a sweat catch and weight training in Tokyo. Izumiguchi is a junior of Oe, who won the Best Nine and Golden Glove awards in 2013. They exchanged opinions from the perspectives of hitter and pitcher, and "there were some things that were helpful, like, 'I don't like this kind of thing too.'"
He began training at Tama Stadium Chikugo on the 7th, just like the rookie joint voluntary training. In 2013, he set a goal of raising the average speed of his fastball, which was in the high 130 km/h range, to 140 km/h. "(If my average speed increases) I'll be able to get more fouls, which will reduce Walk and allow me to compete within the zone. My tempo will also improve," he said, making full use of the facilities, including analysis at the R&D Lab (a place where players' movements, the effects of training, etc. are comprehensively studied), in an effort to improve his level.
This marks his second year with Fukuoka since being traded in May 2013. Oe is committed to contributing at full speed, saying, "When I'm told to go, I'll give it my all. No matter how many inning. I'll do my best to go every day."
