It’s the fourth day of the Miyazaki camp for the Japanese national baseball team. They lost the practice match against the Giants 0-1, and were unable to celebrate Hirokazu Ibata’s first start as coach with a victory.
On the 10th, the 4th day of the Miyazaki camp for the Japanese national baseball team, which is made up mainly of young players, with a rest day in between, a practice match was held against the Giants, who are currently camping in Miyazaki City, and Manager Ibata was in charge for the first time since his appointment. I held it.
In the game, Giants’ pitcher Yushi Akahoshi, who started, allowed one run in three innings, followed by Seibu’s pitcher Tomoichiro Sumida, who allowed no runs in two innings, followed by Rakuten’s pitcher Takahisa Hayakawa, who allowed no runs in three innings.
The three pitchers who are expected to be used as starters in international tournaments showed good progress.
On the other hand, the batting line, which had not scored until the 8th inning, created a chance in the 9th inning with the bases loaded with two outs, but the No. 8 giant, Makoto Kadowaki, was struck out and the batting line could not connect until the end.
The team lost the match 0-1, and could not mark Ibata’s first start with a victory.
Coach Ibata said, “The pitchers have to improve their accuracy, but I think they were throwing good pitches.We lost because we couldn’t score, but our pitch wasn’t bad.”
The Japan national team’s camp in Miyazaki will continue until November 13th, with a practice match against Hiroshima scheduled for the 12th.
Then, on November 16th, they will compete against South Korea, Taiwan, and Australia in their first international tournament, the “Asia Professional Baseball Championship.”
