56 wins. Is it possible to make a comeback?' Up to 143km'Yokishi's 45th pitch live was better than his first appearance"

Yokishi hosted a live pitching at Bears Park in Icheon on the 3rd.
The maximum speed was 143 kilometers per hour. If the ball speed did not come out a little in the first pitching on the 30th of last month, he showed a clear improvement in his appearance on the day. In his first appearance, he certainly improved in his second appearance if he failed to show his skills by throwing the ball without jet lag after entering the country. Considering that he won in double digits with a speed of about 145km during his time at Kiwoom, he certainly maintained his good physical condition.
Doosan is currently looking for a substitute foreign player for Brandon Waddell. Brandon felt shoulder pain after playing two innings against Daegu Samsung on the 23rd of last month, and hospital examination revealed damage to his left shoulder scapular muscles. I'm going to have a re-examination in three weeks. However, it is expected to leave for more than six weeks.

Currently, there were not many candidates because there were no foreign players in the market to sign short-term contracts. It became Shirakawa Keisho and Yokishi 'two-way race', which SSG used as a short-term foreign player.
Shirakawa, who wore his SSG uniform as a substitute for Roenis Elias, went 2-2 with a 5.09 ERA in five games. Excluding eight runs (seven earned runs) in one ⅓ inning against the Lotte Giants, the ERA recorded in four games left a record of 2.49.

Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said, `I heard it's not bad except for the sense of play. I left the team last June and had no team for about a year. I heard he worked out alone at the center. "I heard that there is no problem in throwing the ball because it is a thigh muscle, not a shoulder or elbow injury. "Shirakawa has to wait a week until the waiver announcement, but there is no visa problem. "Yokishi played five years in the KBO League, but Shirakawa also took the mound five times."
Doosan plans to make a final decision as soon as possible after watching Yokishi's pitching.
