The following are some notes he passed along to me:
I found this online, didn't know someone was filming. Pitching against Yokohama DeNa Baystars Ni-gun. 6 innings, 1 hit, 0 runs. From May 25th.
This is against Gunma Diamond Pegasus - 7/27. From a complete game, 3 hits, 0 runs, 0 bb, 6 k's, & only 84 pitches total. I'm not sure about velocity of my pitches (don't want to report inaccurately), because the radar guns are rare & unreliable. My fastball has generally been between 140-146, topping out at 148km. I also throw a cutter, change-up, and curveball.
He also provided an update of his complete game from August 11:
I threw my 3rd consecutive complete game on Saturday. I gave up 2 hits (one was a solo HR). In my last 3 games - 27IP, 8H, 1R, 1BB, 21K. I'm now 9-3 with a 1.99 era on the season. Total pitches for the last 3 games were 84, 112, and 105.
He also picked up his tenth victory of the season on August 17.
Any relation to the player with the same name who played for the Nankai Hawks in 1987?
