[Epoch Times August 02, 2021](Epoch Times reporter John Wu comprehensive compilation report) Do you know which kind of ball is the most noble in all ball games in the world? The answer is: baseball! A baseball dedicated to the Olympic Games.
According to the “Reuters” report, these Olympic baseballs are from Sri Lanka. Before the competition, someone will wear gloves and apply mud imported from the United States to allow them to enjoy a mud bath massage for about 30 seconds. At present, when the global pandemic of COVID-19 (Chinese Communist virus) is shrouded in the haze, these noble baseballs have received top-notch services in Japan. Olympic baseball player and current MLB Minnesota Twins pitcher Joe Ryan praised them as the best baseball in the world.
In the 16 games to welcome the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, 144 balls are expected to be used in each game. They are manufactured in Sri Lanka by the Japanese sporting goods company SSK. These Olympic balls, which are about 145 grams, sewn with a red thread, and printed with a black ink logo, are arousing everyone’s curiosity.
Previously in the 2008 Olympics baseball game, the baseball supplier was Mizuno Corp, Japan’s largest sports goods manufacturer. The company continued to play the role of softball supplier in this Olympics, but it missed baseball orders.
In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the young Olympic stadium attendants during the game, especially for each team, separately store these baseballs in the bag, and wear white cloth gloves or transparent medical gloves for handling during the process. They will also prepare a rosin bag for each team’s pitchers and deliver them to and from the pitching mounds. Anti-slip powder is a mixture of pine tar and chalk, used to dry sweaty palms and to add friction to the smooth new ball.
More importantly, the Olympic ball also reminds everyone that there are now other options besides the Major League Baseball (MLB), the world’s top professional association, which uses baseballs produced by the Rawlings.
This year, the major leagues also added in-game equipment inspections to prevent pitchers from “renovating” baseball by wiping off prohibited sticky substances (such as the well-known brand “Spider Tack” products).
Pitchers all believe that this sticky substance can overcome the inconsistencies in the smooth texture and design of the baseball itself. If you have a better grip when holding the ball, the speed of the pitch can be increased, but MLB officials are worried that the fast shot or the falling ball will cause the batter to miss every time, making the game boring and boring. I didn’t look at it.
Minnesota Twins pitcher Joe Ryan, who plays for the US Olympic team, said on Friday that the baseball made by Japan’s SSK company “is the best ball in the world” and urged the United States to adopt this “surprise” and “perfect”. The product.
Joe Ryan made six shots, only five hits and one point lost. These brilliant performances have earned him many reputations at the age of 25.
Ryan said: “Batterers like it, and I like to use it for pitching, even all pitchers like it.” “This can solve many of the current foreign substances (referring to: sticky substances). It’s hard to say. This It is the best baseball I have ever touched.”
Of course, this is also due to the mud bath. Before Ryan took the lead, the reporter observed three referees wearing masks, dipping their fingers in water, and taking a handful of Lena Blackburne Rubbing Mud from the Delaware River, New Jersey, USA (Lena Blackburne Rubbing Mud) to wipe the mud and give the ball. Take a mud bath.
Immediately afterwards, they slapped the ball as if shaping the pizza dough to remove the smooth surface of the new product.
World Baseball and Softball Referee Director Gustavo Rodriguez (Gustavo Rodriguez) said: “If pitchers can more easily grasp it, when they throw the ball, they will not easily slip out of their hands.”
The referee also said that there were very few complaints and cheating incidents during the preliminaries and the previous three days of the Olympic Games.
People who have used the two balls produced by the Rawlings and SSK said that the same wiping mud should be used for MLB; however, the wiping mud is used on the balls produced by SSK and it feels better.
Sri Lanka has never produced a player who can qualify for the Major League Baseball (MLB), but on the government’s official social media accounts, they are celebrating their baseball production and becoming an important role in the Olympics.
Israel’s Danny Valencia hit a home run from Ryan. He said: “It’s really great to be able to show these little trophies (baseball) to your children and to my son!”
