Okinawa practice match 6 matches 6 losses. Concerns are growing little by little about the Samsung Lions.
Meet the strongest opponents of the snow-covered camp.
At 12:30 noon on the 4th, Samsung will play a practice game against the Yomiuri Giants of the Japanese professional baseball team at the Cellular Stadium in Naha, Okinawa, Japan. Japan’s most prestigious and popular team. On Saturday, a holiday, many local fans are expected to fill the stands at Cellular Stadium. An atmosphere in which Samsung players could be intimidated in a one-sided cheering match.
The game will be played as a regular game in the ninth inning. Both Samsung at the end of the camp and Yomiuri at the last practice game in Okinawa operate normal lineups.
On this day, Samsung will face Tomoyuki Sugano (34), Japan’s leading ace, whom Yomiuri is proud of.
Sugano is one of the best right-handed pitchers Japan boasts beyond Yomiuri. It is the Ace of Ace that has won the Sawamura Award for two consecutive years.
He recorded 117 wins, 63 losses, and an average ERA of 2.46 in 238 games (1622⅔ innings) in Nippon Professional Baseball. As a pitcher who was highly likely to advance to the major leagues, after recording 14 wins and 2 losses with an average ERA of 1.97 in 20 games (137⅓ innings) in 2020, he challenged the major leagues through posting.
However, he was unfortunately canceled due to bad timing due to Corona 19, and remained in Yomiuri. As an ace of the Japanese national team, he played an active part in major international competitions such as the WBC.
After failing to enter the U.S., Sugano has slowed down slightly over the past two years due to injuries.
However, he is still a top-notch pitcher who easily throws a fastball with a strong ball tip that far exceeds 150km. He pledged to ‘200 innings -15 wins’ this season and improved his condition early on.
Samsung batting line, which was firmly pressed against the previous four Japanese teams. Will he be able to pierce the limited express Sugano’s shield? It is a game that draws attention. Starting with the match against Nippon Ham last month, Samsung played four evaluation matches against the Japanese professional baseball team, including two matches against Chunichi and the match against Hanshin.
In 3 out of 4 games, he was defeated by Youngbong and scored only 1 point. He gave up 38 runs.
Since then, they have lost to domestic teams such as Lotte and KIA, and Samsung is recording a total of 6 losses in the Okinawa practice game.
During the match against the Japanese team last month, the players, especially the hitters, had not fully developed a sense of actual play yet. There was also a reason for focusing on young prospects instead of veterans.토토사이트
However, the 4th Yomiuri match is different.
The best lineup will be all out. Against Sugano, Japanese professional baseball Yakult ace Buchanan will start.
The bullpen Pil Seung-jo is also planning to blockade Yomiuri’s other line by going all out.
Exciting all-out war. Will Samsung be able to dramatically end its 6th consecutive victory in Okinawa against the Japanese express Sugano and the most prestigious Yomiuri? It is a game that draws attention.
