The second phase of the Yakult Swallows. Today, I introduce Tateyama of the pitcher of the Yakult Swallows.
Tateyama is from Kanagawa. He joined Yakult by the draft commission at the 3rd place in 2002. It was not so famous for him that I got to know him till then 2 or 3 years ago. He was injured at the joining 2 year time. He cut the ligament of the right elbow during the camp. Therefore, he did not come out of the year and next year to a game. However, he did not give up, and he returned to the first team in 2005, and mentioned the pro first victory immediately. Then, he improves skills and is large-playing an active part as the ace of the right arm of Yakult now. Because he is proud of the high percentage of victories, he is called "the man not losing."
His play style is pitching which beats a batter by the straight of 153 km of fastest, and a variegated breaking pitch from a sidearmed pitch. Especially, he can throw many breaking pitches. He had pitched many shots and sliders till 2008. But, he began to pitch a fork ball, and sff and a cutter in 2008 afterwards. Otherwise, he can pitch a knucklecurve, change-up, and a sinker. I think that that the breaking pitch of these many can be pitched is a reason which he does not lose.
I want him to do my best at this tune next year also.
