Tuesday 109 pitches, 7 innings…Sunday 120 pitches, 8 innings…The 114th pitch is 155km, and the mighty Bauer stops three consecutive games even after six consecutive QS Plus games
It’s the stamina of a monster.
Yokohama BayStars right-hander Trevor Bauer (32) stopped with 10 wins ahead of him. He started against the Hanshin Tigers at Yokohama Stadium on the 20th and pitched eight innings and two runs, but failed to get help from the batters. With the team trailing 0-2, they passed the mound, and Yokohama suffered a 0-2 Youngbong defeat. Bauer, who threw 120 pitches against 33 batters, gave up nine hits and struck out six more.
Bauer, who had won three consecutive games, became a losing pitcher. 9-4 with a 2.78 ERA. Hanshin starter Masashi Ito shut out six hits and no runs in nine innings.
It’s terrible durability, endurance. Unlike Japanese pitchers, Bauer is on the mound every five to six days. He started against the Yakult Swallows on the 15th and pitched 109 pitches in seven innings, making his second start this week. In the first game of the week, he allowed eight hits and three runs and became a winning pitcher. 토토사이트
He threw more than 100 pitches in all six recent games until the match against Hanshin on the 20th, recording a quality start plus (more than seven innings and less than three earned runs).
He overwhelmed three batters in the top of the first inning. He caught No. 1 Koji Chikamoto with a ground ball to first base, No. 2 Takumu Nakano with a ground ball to second base, and No. 3 Shota Morishita with a catcher’s foul fly. He beat all three players with a 150-152km/h fastball.
After one out in the top of the second inning, he hit consecutive hits and was in crisis. No. 5 Sheldon Noyce hit a right-handed hit and No. 6 Teruaki Sato hit a superior double. One out, second and third base.
He then induced No. 7 Sakamoto Seishiro to ground out to third base and caught Nois, the third baseman. I thought I was going to take a breather, but Seiya Kinami hit a timely right-handed hit with two outs and runners on first and third bases.
In the top of the third inning, he overcame the crisis of losing a point well. No. 2 Nakano walked straight and No. 4 Oyama hit right-handed. Nakano threw four straight balls at 151-153 kilometers per hour, slightly out of the strike zone. Against Oyama, he threw only a breaking ball. The slider in the third pitch led to a hit. He then caught No. 5 Nois with a foul fly with two outs and runners on first and second bases.
In the top of the fourth inning, he was blocked from losing a point. After sending out leadoff hitter Sato with a heavy hit, he became third base with two outs with a sacrifice hit and an infield grounder. Ito, the ninth pitcher, hit a timely hit to the right. A 154km/h fastball thrown into the middle of the strike zone in 1B hit a right-handed hit.
In the top of the fifth inning, he caught No. 2 to No. 3 with an infield grounder and allowed No. 4 Oyama to hit a heavy hit. He then struck out Nois with a swing and finished the inning. In the top of the sixth inning, he then struck out two batters and returned three batters in a row.
Bauer, who threw 97 pitches until the sixth inning, took the mound in the seventh inning. Leading hitter No. 9 pitcher Ito got another hit. A low course outside 153 kilometers per hour led to a left-handed hit. In the second base with two outs, he threw a slider to No. 3 Morishita and struck out swinging. 110 pitches.
Bauer took the mound bravely in the eighth inning. Bauer, who struck out Sato with a knuckle curve after two outs, raised his hands and roared to the dugout.
It is notable that he gave up two hits to opposing starter Ito. Before the game, Ito had a .133 (3 hits in 29 at-bats).
Bauer had two hits against opposing starter Hiroki Tokoda in a match against Hiroshima Carp on July 17. Tokoda, who got on base twice, scored both times. Bauer lost even after pitching two runs in seven innings.
“My goal is to win more than 15 games and win the Sawamura Prize,” Bauer said in an interview with nine wins against Yakult on the 15th.
