Nippon-Ham Hiromi Ito spoke about his determination to get into actual game mode from Taiwan on the 1st. The right-handed pitcher, who will be pitching in his first actual game of the season on the 2nd against Chinatrust (Taipei Dome), said, "I don't feel like I'm making any adjustments. I want to go in with the same image as I did in the season," showing his determination to take to mound in serious mode.
During spring training, he threw a total of 110 pitches in bullpen to conserve energy. He will adjust for the season with fewer actual games. "I will have to concentrate more on each game and try out a lot of different things," he said enthusiastically.
Taiwanese media has been asking him questions about breaking ball, with the slow curveball drawing attention. "The slow curveball is my weapon. I want to show it off in Taiwan," he said. He also plans to throw his new pitch, the kick change, which he has been working on during the training camp, if he has the chance. With the already scheduled opening game of the ESCON season (against Softbank) on April 1st, he will make this a fruitful game.
