The 12 consecutive wins within the third year of high school graduation is the first record in the Pacific League since Toshihiko Hayashi (Nankai) in 1965.
The dignified 21-year-old has racked up yet another win. Softbank's Yu Maeda, with a lot of support behind him, achieved his 12th win without a hitch with 5 hits and 1 run allowed in 7 innings. It is the first time in the Pacific League for a player to win 12 consecutive games within his third year of high school since Toshihiko Hayashi (Nankai) did it in 1965.
His pitching skills shined. He evenly controls pitches such as fastballs, sliders, and forks both inside and outside the strike zone. He misread Lotte's batting lineup and struck out nine.
In the 5th inning, he allowed consecutive hits from the beginning and was in a pinch with no outs and 2nd and 3rd base, but this is where the left-handed pitcher really shines. "I don't make mistakes when I throw. That's all I was thinking about." Ryu Miyazaki was hit by a shallow midfielder, and Yamazaki struck out. No. 1 Yamaguchi grounded out to third with a curve.
This was my first experience in the final stages of the race towards victory. In his last pitching on the 4th, his form deteriorated due to straining, and he gave up two runs in the middle of the fourth inning. ``I don't make two bad pitches in a row.'' I fixed it the same day and didn't repeat the mistake.
With the win, they now stand alone at the top of the league, and said, ``Honestly, I'm happy.'' Although he has not yet reached the required number of innings pitched, he is one win away from the 13 wins required for the highest winning percentage. Multiple titles, including Rookie of the Year, are also in his sights.
