◆ Sakaguchi on the excellent pitching of the right-handed pitcher, who has a top speed of 161 km/h, said, “The fact that he has become more stable is a big deal for the team.”
Nippon-Ham win Seibu 4-3 on the 14th. Third-string pitcher Yukiya Saito pitched in the 9th inning and closer all three batters in just eight pitches, earning his first save since March 30th.
The right-hander’s fastest speed of 161 km was broadcast on the 14th, and MC Tomotaka Sakaguchi of Fuji TV ONE’s “Pro baseball News 2025” broadcast on the 14th said pitcher, “It was wonderful. While everyone was getting tired at the end of the game, pitcher, who still threw such a great ball, had a sense of stability, and a big presence was added to bullpen,” he said, referring to the team’s situation as they continue to fight to win the league.
Commentator Akio Saito said, “pitch form is becoming less disjointed. When he steps with his weight firmly on his right foot, there is no blurring when he rotates his upper body, so he fastball also runs and I think he has good control of his pitches. I feel that he is becoming more supple.
