Softbank Hawks Roberto Osuna pitcher bullpen pitch The right-hander, who joined the camp on March 15, had also bullpen entered the camp during a voluntary training session in his home state of Arizona in the U.S. He sat catcher down and threw a powerful fastball. He said, "The jet lag has gone away a lot, and my body was in good shape, so it was good for the first time. I believe that if I can throw all the way through this year without injury, I will be able to achieve results. I'm glad I was able to confirm that," he said, puffing out his chest.

Last season, due to poor condition, he had 3 wins, 1 loss, 8 saves, and ERA 4.15 in 26 games. He handed over the closer position to Kazuki Sugiyama midway through the season. This season marks the third year of a large multi-year contract worth over 4 billion yen over four years.
