Admin’s Note

Murakami’s 58-kilometer slow ball was a remarkable moment that left an impact on the audience. The technique of throwing a slow ball is not just about being slow; it also has a significant psychological effect on the opponent. The reactions from the crowd were particularly impressive, reminding us of the joy of baseball. I’m increasingly excited to see how his pitching style will evolve in the future. Although the results of the Hanshin game were tough, it’s these unique plays that make baseball so interesting.
