[Taipei, Taiwan, March 25 - Nobuo Moriguchi] Softbank Hawks Hawks pitcher Hsu Hsu Jo-Hsi (25) has declared that he will go "full throttle" from the first inning in the game against his home country's national team. On the 26th, he will start for The Hawks in the game against the WBC Taiwan national team (Taipei Dome), of which he is also a member.

"I want to give it my all right from the start without overthinking it." He emphasized staying natural as if to convince himself before a match against "all his family." He fine-tuned his form, saying, "pitcher coach told me to 'throw with a smooth feeling.'" He has been refining his form by watching videos of pitch he was satisfied with, and has been tweaking his senses and his body. "I don't feel any particular pressure. I've been able to adjust well." After pitching, he plans to join the Taiwanese national team.

Since he had not pitched in a real game during the Miyazaki camp, Kokubo expressed his expectations, saying, "It looks like he was ready for this game (against the Taiwanese national team). In his home country, he will show a shocking pitch to both teams.
