[Orix] Second-year left-handed Kaisei Tomatsu makes his first Softbank start… “I thought it was a joke at first…” Ryuhei Sotani is in poor condition and will be adjusting for his next appearance | Pacific League

◆ Pacific League Softbank vs. Orix (26th, Mizuho PayPay Dome)

Orix Kaisei Tomatsu pitcher will make his first professional start in the Softbank match (Mizuho PayPay Dome) on the 27th. A left-hander who joined the team with the third pick in the draft the year before last. This season, in his second year as a professional, he made his first-team debut against Lotte (ZOZO Marine) on July 19 and was 2 runs in two innings. On the 26th, he adjusted the day before with 17 pitches with a pull pen. “At first, I thought it was a joke. I’m not a player or a level that looks ahead, so I’m going to accumulate one out at a time even if I’m dying. My true intention is 100 tensions, but I want to go with the feeling of 100 fun and 0 tensions.”

Soya, who was originally expected to start on the 27th, avoided pitching due to poor condition. During the pre-game practice that day, he played catch and checked his condition. He will not be removed from the player registration list, and is scheduled to prepare for his next appearance.
