🕵️♂️ Transcript:
tomoyuki sugano on the hill for Japan Sugo’s got all the pitches fast ball curveball cutter and a forkball but he wants outs quick outs 27 pitches 27 outs that’d be his ideal game fast ball jammed him Kikuchi and an out here in the first Hughes drives that to right center field hits it well Aoki on patrol makes the catch at the track then he gets a ground ball out towards second Kikuchi on the first in time up the middle looks like two Sakamoto from Kikuchi and that’s exactly what sugano needed and wanted and a chopper to first show nakot to the bag mention Sagano is a big fan of watching Greg Maddox and Roy holiday of course two terrific pitchers and he has taken a little bit out of their book in that he’s working very quick something that doesn’t happen traditionally from Japanese pitchers throwing a lot of strikes and working quickly and so far Australia has taken advantage of that aggressive approach from sugano nikot catches the popup nice play by sugato that’s a one two three inning sugan’s thrown just 33 pitches in his three Innings here is Denning now and he hits it off the end of the bat slowly hit out toward second and the shovel by Kikuchi is just in time that’s strike three called and a big strike out for sugano now canel got away from his Scot report they were looking for fast balls he kind of got beat by this inside fast ball after laying off the breaking ball away catches the inside corner Sano does with that fast ball in the dirt he buries it and Strikes Out well I think there’ll be a small hole where they can watch the games because you you know you can’t take the ivy Off the Wall completely Ulin strikes out and that’s a big out for sugano who’s getting closer to that 65 and K’s got their hands full this may be the best guy in the rotation for Japan right now tomoyuki sugano well sugan’s numbers in the first Downing he Pitch Four and a third he didn’t walk about struck out four and he finished second in the savur award voting last year that’s the Japanese equivalent of the Sai Young Award he is the Ace for the yumuri Giants they play here as on the ground Kikuchi has been brilliant at second and he throws out Santos into the bat didn’t get all of it akiyama is there and he makes the catch threw too many pitches and he won’t be eligible until tomorrow as theor strikes out zugo with a high fast ball has the first out of the second inning well he mentioned sugano a strikeout pitcher this is a fast ball he elevates and with two strikes of Adra probably protecting against that slider and split is late on the fast ball second strikeout so far for sugano and that’s it little roller Kikuchi has to go to his left he’s very good left or right and he makes the play Delgado is out slider swinging a miss one two coming elevated fast ball at 92 mph and he strikes him out that’s four strikeouts so far for Sano and I think the Cubans are looking breaking ball with two strikes and he’s crossed him up aala now Chopper to third picked matsuda makes the play led by Ken korak of the Oakland A’s that one in center field akiyama calls for it and makes a catch so sugan bounces back Kashi sets out and that’s usually the precursor to a slider grael strikes out well we told you at the top of this show that sugan was a strikeout pitcher this strike out of graciel is his fifth of the ball game he’s got a good assortment of pitches that last pitch a hard breaking ball away away from grael got him well we talk about sag being a strikeout pitcher second strike out of the inning sixth in the ball game watch his reaction if you don’t think team Japan is up for this classic you’re sadly mistaken Sagano punches out Delgado and then gives a little fist pump and on the mount for team Japan 27-year-old who was a nine-game winner for the yumiri Giants last year at nine game winning came with a 2.01 erra tomoyuki sugano was really good last season and he’s already appeared a handful of times in the World Baseball Classic Kinsler sends a drive out to the other the other way that is and under it ball on a strike to count to Adam Jones five time Allstars had a great tourament that one angling for the seats reaching in to make the catch show nakot showing his wingspan as well new ballpark foreign soil no problem well this is going to be a showcase between tremendous talent and athleticism that the USA team has to not only the talent and athleticism but discipline they do everything to be as disciplined as they can be two balls in two strikes the count to Christian [Music] Yelich and on the appeal they ring him up on the appeal they say went around couldn’t lay off that slider and that’s two strikeouts already for sugano tonight we can tell sugano can spin a baseball sugana showing off that skill set tonight Chopper to third matsuda throw to first is just in time to get Hosmer who was running hard up the line here’s the seventh pitch of the ad bat to McCutchen a ground ball sharply hit to suck till the short stop to retire the side that’s six up six down for the Japanese right-hander this evening a pitch to Crawford is on the ground for Kikuchi from a three and0 count to a 32 pitch to Kinsler which is wrapped to third matsuda very good at the hot corner and nothing comes at the lead off single ties up Adam Jones he didn’t come inside until the two strike count he’s really kept the US guessing tonight that’s three strikeouts for him he has he doesn’t go to the same area twice more than twice in a row and so they’re trying to figure him out on the Fly kobashi wants to crowd him here struck him out four strikeouts for sugano tonight this is just right down Central and to show you he’s getting caught in between his timing’s not been great and all trying into these games trying to get get it going has been difficult and posy pops it up and out from shortstop to make the catches Sakamoto that was head for No Man’s Land a waveing a Miss five strikeouts for him tonight getting to that point where if he wants to come here and make some money those years all add up off the fist back to sugano who can clearly field this position as well and there are two away well hit the other way ioki started in but recovers to retire the side in order an eight pitch fifth by tomoyuki sugano so he is up there with the likes of some of the best we have and being able to spin that four seam fast ball two two to yellich on a couple the Hops for show nakot two-time golden Glover makes easy work of that here’s the 02 home to arado and he’s caught looking knew it six strong endings from Tomo Yuki sugano
