Orix Buffaloes pitcher Sean Hjelle has vowed to adopt a "confident" style in his bid to make the opening day rotation. He is scheduled to make his debut in an exhibition game against Seibu Lions (at SOKKEN). "hitter is hitter, so there's no change in my mindset. No matter what anyone is wearing, it's just the uniform that changes," he said, nodding emphatically. The new foreign right-hander, at 213 centimeters, is the tallest player with major league experience to date. In the intrasquad game on the 21st, he pitched one inning without hit runs. Big Jerry is currently expected to be a part of the starting rotation. "I'm just going to focus on what I can do. It's the same every time," he said confidently.
