Matsuyama, who joined the team in first place in the 2022 development draft and is in his first year, made 10 saves as a guardian of the second team this season and was promoted to control in June. He has pitched in 34 games in the first team so far, and with his fastest fastball of 156 km/h, he has shown great success with 17 holds, 49 strikeouts, and an ERA of 1.08 in 33 1/3 innings pitched.

In the game once morest Hiroshima, he pitched as the fifth man in the 8th inning with a four-run lead, and drove in the leadoff Nishikawa with three pitches, throwing an extremely powerful fastball to the outside corner and striking out. Dobayashi followed with a 155 km fastball that he missed and struck out. In the final out, he struck out Sakakura with a fastball to the inside corner, and he got all the strikeouts straight. With this, the strikeout rate is a shocking 13.23. This number was second among all pitchers following Roki Sasaki (Lotte)’s 13.35, and was the highest among relief pitchers for 12 teams. (Pitchers who pitched 30 or more innings)

His successive pitches have received rave reviews on social media, with comments such as “That’s disgusting”, “How did he get it through training?”, “Wow, God?”, and “Really amazing.” We will continue to pay attention to the right-handed pitcher’s good pitching, which has improved since his development.
