Nippon-Ham pitcher Kota Tatsu (21) entered bullpen for the first time on the 30th during his early voluntary training in Nago, Okinawa. He threw 36 pitches, including a fastball, slider, fork, change-up. bullpen catcher Watanabe said, "I was told that it's much better than last year, so I'll be using slider and a fastball. They said slider has a sweeper-type curve, so I'd like to get a strikeout." He showed satisfaction with his improved slider.
pitch There was also a scene where he observed Kitayama pitch, who was previously selected for the WBC Samurai Japan, from behind. I can't do that very often during the season," he said. I can only see him on film, which is unique to this time of year," he said, taking his time to study him so as not to get in the way of his seniors. Focusing on Kitayama's use of his lower body, he said, "I thought it was very simple, and I saw his right hip was rising up quite a bit, so I thought there was a way to throw like that. I have an image of it going side to side, but I imagined it going up and overtaking with my toes. The hip bone goes up with a pop. I can see it in my mind's eye, as if I were bouncing up and down. I don't know what it would look like if I did it myself, but I was wondering if that was the secret to the speed of the ball," said the studious Tatsu.
