Cheering for resignation → Full attendance in the bedroom, "My legs shook."" is a pure young man…"The fielder's mistake is "I'm not good enough" and the mentality is "really"

Keisho Shirakawa (23, Doosan Bears) started in a home game against the Samsung Lions at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 13th and allowed three hits, six walks, three strikeouts and four runs (two earned) in three ⅔ innings.
The moment I announced Shirakawa's new start. This season, Shirakawa appeared like a comet in the KBO League. SSG Landers signed a six-week contract as a short-term alternate foreign player due to the injury of Roenis Elias. He played for the Tokushima Indigo Sox, an independent Japanese club, and played in five games for SSG, recording 2 wins, 2 losses and a 5.09 ERA. Excluding the fact that he lost eight runs (seven earned runs) in one ⅓ inning against Lotte on the 7th, his ERA in four games was only 2.49.
Towards the end of Shirakawa's contract, Doosan began to look for alternative foreign players due to Brandon Waddell's injury. In the end, Shirakawa left SSG and continued his KBO league career in Doosan.

New environment in new team. On top of that, Shirakawa was the biggest crowd in baseball's life. The maximum speed was 151km, but the ball control was slightly shaken with 40 balls out of 83 balls.
Shirakawa `was nervous. It was enough to shake my legs. "I thought it would be okay now that I got used to it, but when I went up, my legs shook because I was nervous."
There was on base in the first and second innings, but it went over well without losing a run. However, with two outs and runners on the second and third bases in the third inning, he had a timely two-run hit. In the fourth inning, two errors came out, and in the end, he had to come down the mound without finishing the inning.

Although he did not meet all expectations in his debut, Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop expected to get better. Director Lee "It wasn't bad. I came out in action in two weeks and was not good at first. I used the Jamsil mound for the first time, and even that part could be shaken. You can adapt by throwing. You don't have to worry too much. "I think he'll be able to adapt quickly because he's a young player. The ball is free from worry. He's a good controller, but he had a lot of ball control, but I think he was nervous" he said.
It is expected that there will be no major problems in adapting to the team. Doosan has two Japanese coaches. Operation Koto Koji Jr. coach and Serizawa Yuji battery coach. For Shirakawa, their presence will be a strong support. There are also many employees who can speak Japanese naturally. Shirakawa said, "I think it helped because there were many people who spoke Japanese"I think it's a good team because the seniors also made it comfortable somehow. " he smiled.
The team's teamwork with catcher Yang Eui-ji also left a strong memory in his first appearance. After wearing Doosan's uniform, Shirakawa hit a home run against Darvish Yu. I found out it was Yang Eui-ji this time."

Shirakawa is expected to take about six more appearances in Doosan in the future. Shirakawa `is getting used to it little by little. I will contribute to the team and play a game where I can win"I'm determined.
