WBC Taiwan representative Nippon-Ham Ruei-Yang Gu Lin pitcher (25) started the first team's red and white game in Nago, Okinawa on the 7th. The first pitch to the leading No. 1 Yazawa clocked 148 km, and it was a foul that broke the bat, and it was a ground ball. Imagawa followed with a left-handed hit, Manami hit in the middle, and Mizuno was in a pinch with Walk and 1 out and bases loaded, but Sakaguchi and Yoshida survived the closer pinch with struck out in a row. Yoshida slashed with a struck out swing at 152 km, the fastest of the day.

On the 3rd, he pitched in a live BP game, closer no hit one Walk against five hitter, including Mannami, Mizutani, and Nishikawa, with his fastest pitch reaching 153 km/h. "I was able to throw well, including the speed," he said.

Taiwan's ace pitcher, who will play his first WBC match against Japan on March 6th, showed excellent form.
