Nippon Ham Reyes surprise! “I was nervous yesterday too” after hearing Manager Shinjo’s “pitch call” Pitching practice in the bullpen – Sponichi Sponichi Annex Baseball

On the 27th, Nippon-Ham outfielder Franmil Reyes used to pitch into the bullpen during the pregame before the game against Rakuten (Escon).

It has been two years since he entered the bullpen since August 23, 2022, when he was with the Cubs, against the Cardinals. He shrugged as he played the slide, fork, and sinker, and prefaced it by saying, “Well, it’s just for fun. I’m ready to go anytime.”

After the game against Softbank on the 25th, Manager Shinjo posted on his SNS a video of Reyes pitching when he was with the Cubs, along with the caption, “I going to start the game against Rakuten tomorrow (27th) with Reyes.” After confirming the post, Reyes said with a fake smile, “I didn’t know if what the boss was saying true, so I was nervous yesterday, and I was nervous when I came today.”
