â—†Sports Hochi/Reporter's Column “From Ryogoku”
Even if it is shown on a TV broadcast, the details are not known. While I realize that it is my job to convey the content, I also feel that I cannot look at small things. So, I'm sure there are many people who are interested, but I don't really have a question. “What are you going to talk about when you're in a pinch and get together on the mound?” Hiroshima's pitcher Osera Daichi told the infielders surrounding him in the seventh inning of the match against Lotte on the 11th.
“This time, I spend time throwing each pitch carefully.”
He pitched well and the inning came 2-1. The balls they hit and hit consecutive hits, and the game was tied due to an error from an ally. It was still a scene with one out and a runner on third base. The game was performed with a focus on pitching with good tempo from the beginning. “It's completely different, so I think it's easier to protect if you tell them.” He pitched in unison with his defense and did not allow him to make a comeback, leading to an overtime victory.
However, this is an irregular conversation. He usually receives instructions from the bench and is told by fielders. In addition to the fact that his pitching changed 180 degrees, he said he wanted to convey his desire to never want to score a goal.
Last season, he had an ERA of 1.86 and had a 6 win and 6 losses. This season, he kept his 10th of his 12 appearances to less than two points, but he has not been blessed with a win of 2 wins and 4 losses.
Does the pitching rhythm create a mistake? Doesn't it lead to an attack?
When you're in baseball, you hear it a lot. This is an unfounded image. Even now that all kinds of data is available, I have never heard of such numbers. However, many players actually felt this, and pitcher Osera admitted, “I think there is.” That's why it's just how it goes, but I don't think that the reason for the lack of help is the right arm who can be so careful about it. I can only hope that luck will soon be at your peak. (Professional baseball manager Ando Osamu)
