However, the team’s support was only one run, and it was not his first win appearance since last season, even though it was his fourth. The 23-year-old DRA1 left-hander, who has improved with each start, will be looking to get his long-awaited win next time out.

He threw 98 pitches in the seventh inning, the longest of his professional career. 3 hit 5 strike out and 1 runs. “I was able to get a strikeout in the fork inning where I couldn’t get a strikeout last time,” he said. mound It was good that I was able to finish the next inning with three batters after getting a run scored.
He was also helped by the words of his wife, who was in the same year as him. Following his last appearance on the mound on May 15th against Orix (ESCON), Shindo put on the mask. He was not able to control his pitches as he wanted at the start, and after the second inning, he was advised on the bench, “You’re trying too hard to finish off the game, so try to make the batters hit more foul balls.” After the third inning, he said, “I was able to pitch with all my might,” and pitched the entire seventh inning no walk, using his fastball, which reached a maximum speed of 149 km/h.

On the 15th, in the game Orix (ESCON), he pitched well without giving up any runs, but after the 5th inning he had an accident where he cramped his leg and had to leave the game in the 6th inning. This time, he responded by taking magnesium before the game and at the end of the 3rd inning. He made it through without cramping his leg.
Director Shinjo said, “It’s good. One word: good. Coach Kato pitcher also gave him high praise, saying, “He throws strike more and more, and it was great. Hosono himself responded, “I can compete with pitches that are in the zone. I want to keep this up until I get hit by a pitch. He is expected to be removed from the rotation for the time being, but he will remain with the first team and prepare for the next game. The promising left fielder, who continues to grow, will share his joy with the fans by getting a white star this time.
