Koya Fujii of Softbank throws well to Hiroshima opponent of old nest, “reminiscent of Senga”
Softbank pitcher Koya Fujii has defeated the Central League batters with the treasure sword “Sudden Magic Ball”. In the interleague game, he threw 1/3 in the 9th inning, struck out 16 and scored 1 goal. The amazing sharpness of the bat spinning around made a surprise voice from the fans, saying, “This way of falling is ugly” and “I can’t hit it.”
Fujii, who had a free contract with Hiroshima only in 2020, played in Kochi in the Shikoku Island League last year. He signed a training contract with Softbank this season and returned to NPB, and was registered under control before the opening. He has pitched in 24 games so far this season, with 4 wins and 0 losses, 5 holds and 1 save, and an earned run average of 0.69.
Of particular note is the overwhelming pitching of 40 strikeouts in 26 innings. In the interleague game, on May 27, he pitched in the old nest once morest Hiroshima and closed the second inning without any runs. When the official YouTube of “PERSOL His Pacific League TV” released a video of his activities in the interleague game so far, he received comments such as “Why was it released from Hiroshima?” And “Reminiscent of Senga.” There is.
