Gulin Ruiyang fights for the first victory in Japan against Softbank! Legendary star Sadaharu Wang personally cheered for him

The Hokkaido Japan Ham Fighters will launch Taiwan's "Fireball Man" Ruiyang Gulin as the starting pitcher on May 1 to welcome his second career Japanese professional team to win the first game in Japan, against Pacific League powerhouse Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks. Bidding farewell to the gloom of the defeat on his debut, Gulin looked forward to a better performance this time, and the legendary star Sadaji Wang, who served as the president of the SoftBank Ball Club, personally cheered him on.

GULIN MADE HIS DEBUT LAST WEEK AT HOME AGAINST THE LOTTE VULTURES AT ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO, CONCEDING SEVEN POINTS IN 5.2 INNINGS (5 POINTS OF SELF-BLAME) AND SWALLOWING HIS FIRST DEFEAT, ADMITTING AFTER THE GAME THAT THERE WAS STILL ROOM FOR ADJUSTMENT IN HIS PITCHING RHYTHM. This game will start for the first time on the road, against the SoftBank Hawks, who he considers to be a "super strong team", who is expected to launch a former ham ace, Naoyuki Uezawa, who has a record of 2 wins and 1 defeat this season and a defense rate of 3.27.

Speaking about his upcoming second match, Gulin said that he had made a number of adjustments to the problems of the first game, especially in terms of ball control, and the most important thing was to be able to perform well on the court." He stressed that against the powerful SoftBank, it is even more important to concentrate and enter the rhythm of the game as soon as possible.

Before the game on the 29th, Gulin also had a brief greeting with Japanese baseball legend Sadaharu Wang, and he couldn't hide his excitement when he talked about this experience, "Senior Sadaharu Wang said to me, 'Come on', he is a very status, great, and respected senior, and I am very touched to receive his encouragement."

Although the SoftBank team has the highest team salary of 7.87 billion yen in the league, the record this season has not been as expected, and it is currently in the bottom position of the Pacific Conference with 9 wins and 14 losses. In contrast, the Ham team has a record of 13 wins and 12 defeats, temporarily ranking second, only 1.5 games behind the first-place Orix.
