One of the ace pitchers in Japan#2


This is Daisuke Miura, Yokohama Baystars.
He is 37 years old. He is in charge of his team's ace pitcher.
Though he is not young, he is being active now.
His strong point is his very good control. Look at this picture!
To be honest, he is scary-looking, but his pitching is very delicate. Especially, his control of his breaking balls is great.
Also, his breaking balls are very sharp. I think cut ball, one of the breaking balls, like slider, is difficult to hit.
Incidentally, he is called "Hama no Banchou" by everyone. The reason is that he is very virile!! His characteristic is a regent style.
How about today's introduction? His pitching style attaches control better than fast ball. I think his idea is right, for a lot of people say that a pitching style with a lot of fast ball is better than one with a lot of breaking balls when they watch the baseball game. However, if the pitchers pitch in order to win the game, a pitching style with a lot of fast ball is unnecessary, for if a pitcher pitch fast ball too much, fast ball can be hit easily. So, pitching is very difficult.
If you have comments against my opinion, please tell me!!!
