Seibu Lions 's new foreign right-handed pitcher, Wynans, made his first appearance in a game against Sega Sammy (Carminique) on the 16th.

He started the game, throwing 32 pitches over two innings, allowing no hit, two Hit by Pitch, strike out, while giving up no runs. Last season, the right-hander dominated the Yankees' Triple-A team, starting 18 games and compiling a 12-1 record with a 1.63 ERA. This spring, he started at the first team's camp in Nango, Miyazaki, but was delayed due to a right elbow injury and did not pitch in any exhibition games. After the season started, he continued to adjust in the minor leagues, and this was his long-awaited debut.
