Alexander Armenta

Softbank Hawks played their first red-and-white game at the Miyazaki camp on the 14th, and Alexander Armenta pitcher, a training player for the WBC Mexico national team, took the mound as a starter for the red group. The two times were 1 hit runs, and the MAX of the fastball measured 154 kg. Due to the small number of pitches, he got four outs in the second inning with a special rule. Coach Kokubo highly praised the 21-year-old, who has been in Japan for five years, saying, "There is a WBC, but as I had the impression of bullpen, it gives a good impression even if the hitter stands."
