Yomiuri Giants left-hander Tatsuya Ishikawa (27) threw for the Yokohama BayStars until last year. After last season, when Yokohama demanded a contract switch to a nurturing player, he left in search of a new team. The situation did not run exactly at the time, but the heartache was deep in the process. I guess he didn't expect to leave Yokohama.

It's understandable. Left-handed right-handed Ishikawa was born and raised in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. I dreamed of becoming a baseball player by supporting the BayStars. He graduated from Yokohama High School, went to Hosei University, and wore his hometown team uniform in 2021. Yokohama called him the No. 1 pick in the development draft.

A left-hander bullpen with good control. He made his first team debut in his second year of joining the team and has shown his presence in the past two years. He pitched 28 games - 32 innings in 2023 and 15 games - 14 innings in 2024. Last season, he posted two holds and a 1.93 ERA. I haven't played in the first team since June.




Yomiuri reached out when Yokohama notified him of non-electric power. Yokohama, which poured out its affection, quickly became an enemy. Yokohama fans cheered for the release and transfer.

He played at Naha Cellular Stadium in Okinawa Prefecture on Wednesday. But the opponent team is Yokohama. I clenched my teeth and threw it.

He took the mound in the top of the sixth inning, trailing 1-3, and allowed no hits and no runs in two innings. He handled six batters in a row. He beat Yokohama's batters perfectly by mixing a fastball up to 148 kilometers per hour and a breaking ball. The Japanese media wrote that the breaking ball control was especially good. 22 pitches.




In the sixth inning, he caught leadoff hitter No. 5 Zion Matsuo with a ground ball to third base. He then struck out No. 6 Watarai Ryoki, who had two hits. 풀카운트에

A 146km/h fastball poked the left-handed batter's low course. Ishikawa ended the inning by striking out the next batter, Kento Inoue, with a swing and miss. He pulled out the bat with a fastball 146 km/h at 2B2S.

In the seventh inning, he caught all three batters with an infield grounder.

It was a meaningful pitching for Ishikawa. He was honest. I wanted to throw better because my opponent was an old team. "I felt different from when I was facing another team. He took the mound with the intention of making me regret letting him go. I want to pitch like today throughout the season."




Ishikawa previously pitched live on the 9th. He pitched overwhelmingly against eight batters, striking out five. He is adjusting smoothly in the Yomiuri. The transfer shock was a definite motivation for him.

Meanwhile, the Yomiuri Giants came from behind to win 4-3. In the bottom of the seventh inning, No. 8 Akihiro Yuto hit a tiebreaking two runs and hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. Transfer players and prospective players flew in Tuta.

Even after winning the Central League last year, Yomiuri was caught by Yokohama and failed to advance to the Japan Series. In the final stage of the climax series, he suffered a shock loss to Yokohama, the third-place team in the league.
