Shintaro Fujinami threw the worst pitch on his 31st birthday.

Fujinami, who plays for the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers of the Seattle Mariners, took the mound against the Sacramento River Cats, a triple-A team under the San Francisco Giants, at Cheney Stadium on the 13th (Korea time) and was sluggish with two hits, three walks and five runs in one-third of an inning.
Taking the mound in the top of the seventh inning with his team leading 7-1, Fujinami caught a two-strike first by Logan Porter, the first batter, and threw four balls in a row. He allowed an infield hit to his successor Hunter Bishop, and struck out O'Slevis Vasabe, which was his first and only outing on the day. Fujinami was hit by Sergio Alcantara for an RBI timely hit, and even allowed two batters to walk to score. Fujinami left the mound with the bases loaded with one out for a 7-3 lead, and his runs increased to five as the follow-up pitcher brought all the successors home. 토토사이트

Fujinami threw a total of 29 pitches on the day, and the strike rate was only 41.4% (12).

Fujinami, born on April 12, 1994, pitched the worst pitch in his 31st appearance in local time, making the day's slump more painful.

After stopping his pitching streak without allowing any runs in the last four consecutive games, Jinami's Triple-A ERA soared from 1.80 to 10.13. He pitched 5 1/3 innings with eight strikeouts and six walks in a total of six games. His hit rate is as low as 0.158, but his on-base-per-inning allowance is as high as 1.69.

Fujinami is familiar to Korean baseball fans as he is a rival of Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers), who joined the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) in 2013. He signed with the Oakland Athletics in January 2023 and successfully advanced to the Major League in the U.S., but his performance was not that impressive. Last year, he only played in minor leagues under the New York Mets.

Fujinami signed a minor league contract with Seattle in January and is trying to re-enter the big league. He throws fastballs of up to 160km, but he has been hampered again by the difficulty of control, which has been a chronic problem.
