[Inspiring the team with his “back”]Kenta Maeda “Even the accident of being hit directly by the ball… Super power pitching with 102 pitches, 4 hits, and 2 runs allowed in 7 innings!!!”[Video that will make you want to eat yokan]

Tohoku Rakuten’s starting pitcher is Kenta Maeda. He lost 2 runs in the 2nd inning due to a squeeze and a sacrifice fly, but in the end, he pitched brilliantly, not allowing any runs outside of that inning! He remained unfazed by the accident where he hit the ball in the neck, and pitched with power, giving up 2 runs on 102 pitches in the 7th inning! Although he didn’t win or lose, he pitched like a veteran!!
