User talk:Ibata, head coach of the Japanese national baseball team, says, “The future of Korean pitchers is scary”

“The four Korean starting pitchers have excellent velocity and control over 150km” “No. 4 hitter Noh Si-hwan’s batting skills are top-notch even compared to Japanese hitters.”

Coach Hirokazu Ibata, who led the Japanese national baseball team to the top, was wary of young Korean players.

Japan won 4-3 in the final match against Korea in the final of the '2023 Asian Professional Baseball Championship (APBC)' held at Tokyo Dome on the 19th after a close game that ended in a penalty shootout in the bottom of the 10th overtime.

He reached the top spot for the second time after winning the inaugural competition in 2017.

On the other hand, Korea was unable to maintain a 2-0 lead and lost, finishing in second place for the second consecutive time.

According to Higashi Sports Web, Coach Ibata said, “We played two games against Korea and won both, but the difference was only one piece of paper. “It wasn’t surprising even if Korea won both games,” he said.

He continued, “The Korean batters’ hitting was sharp. I felt like there was a lot to follow. The pitchers had good ball control, and throwing breaking balls in advantageous counts was also good. I saw four Korean starting pitchers in this tournament, and all of them had a speed of over 150km. “I thought that the future would be even scarier because the young players had this level of skill,” he said.

He praised Noh Si-hwan, the fourth hitter, saying, “I think the sharpness of his hitting is top-notch, even compared to Japanese hitters.” 카지노사이트
