Xu Ruoxi pitcher (25), who joined Softbank Hawks from Taiwanese pro baseball Ajisen, held a press conference in Fukuoka City on April 29. CBO Jojima was also present at the press conference. The 158-kilometer fastest right fielder is also from Taiwan and is looking to surpass Kaku Taiyuan, who Seibu Lions has a total of 117 wins.
Just like pitch style, which insists on "holding opponents closer with as fastballs as possible," he was also ambitious in his goals. "The basic goal is 10 wins. I think I have the ability to get more than 10 wins." The most win in a season by a Taiwanese pitcher is 15, set by Kuo in 1991. This rising star, who is expected to play in the WBC in March, is brimming with enthusiasm, saying, "At first I want to go in with a challenging attitude, but it would be great if I could surpass that."
"My predecessors created a great era, so I will not be left behind and will create my own era." He signed a three-year contract worth a total of 1.5 billion yen. This is the first time that a foreign player from the team will wear number 18. The 25-year-old is considering a shot at the major leagues in three years' time. He has made his presence felt since starting in the Miyazaki camp with Group A (equivalent to the first team). (Moriguchi Noboru)
