Darvish, the best part of the Samurai’s first bullpen! The pitchers such as Aki Sasaki also nailed it! (February 18, 2023)

On the 18th, the World Baseball Classic (WBC) Japan National Team “Samurai Japan” Miyazaki camp entered its second day, and pitcher Yu Darvish pitched in the bullpen for the first time in the camp. While checking the measuring equipment that quantifies the pitches, I threw each pitch carefully, imagining various scenes such as occasionally making the batter stand. The young pitchers who were watching from behind the net were riveted, as pitcher Aki Sasaki filmed Darvish’s pitching form with a smartphone. He showed a pitching practice that overwhelmed not only the fans and the press, but also the samurai warriors. Samurai Japan’s first match is scheduled for the warm-up match against Softbank on the 25th.
