Yomiuri Giants right-hander Shosei Dogo (25) was disgraced in a special match against the Los Angeles Dodgers, which drew attention. On March 15, 13 days before the regular season opener, he started against the Los Angeles Dodgers and allowed five runs in six innings. Ace, who was named the opening starter for the second consecutive year, gave up three home runs in the top of the third inning and lowered his head. He recorded three hits in a row one or two times, but he was hit hard as if he had read all the cards. My face turned red at the shocking result.

He hit a superior one-run home run to leadoff hitter No. 7 Michael Confort, a two-run home run to No. 1 Shohei Ohtani, and a January home run to left-center by No. 4 Teoscar Hernandez. Conport hit a high first-pitch fastball, Ohtani hit a first-pitch curve, and Hernandez hit a first-pitch fastball. This happened in the presence of 43,500,000 spectators at Tokyo Dome in Yomiuri's home room.

He made his professional debut in 2019 and had three innings-hitters for the first time. Yomiuri ace Dogo was a supporting actor who brilliantly shone the Chicago Cubs and the Los Angeles Dodgers ahead of the opening series of the Major League Baseball, 'Superstar' Ohtani like the sun. Fortunately, after a stormy third inning, I found stability in the fourth inning. He stopped three innings in the fourth and sixth innings with one hit and no run. The Yomiuri Giants were beaten 1-5.

Was the special match a preview of the slump in the early part of the season. The Dogo collapsed again. It's not just the degree of collapse, it's the level of collapse that makes the eyes questionable. From the opening game, he threw three games and was notified of the second-tier adjustment. Something unexpected happened to anyone.

The Hiroshima Carp match was held at the Mazda Stadium in Hiroshima on the 11th. Dogo, who started for the third time this season, handled three consecutive hitters in the bottom of the first inning. Number one, Tamura??He caught Ske with a fly ball to shortstop, Masaya Yano with a fly ball to left field, and Kaito Jojo with a ground ball to first base. At the top of the second inning, when the score was 0-0, Yomiuri's batters scored the first point to lighten Dogo's shoulders.

However, he immediately allowed the game to turn around in the bottom of the second inning. He gave up three runs on three hits, including a double. Yomiuri followed the top of the 4th inning with 1 point at the end of the 4th inning

Something ludicrous happened. He gave up six hits and two walks, including two doubles, and allowed seven runs. He was substituted with two out-counts left. Considering the worst condition, it should have been replaced early, but it was further damaged while trying to honor the ace. Shortly after the replacement, Dogo watched the game from the dugout with tears in his eyes.

He allowed 10 runs (nine earned runs) on three hits and three walks in three ⅓ innings. It is the first time for a double-digit number of runs in a game. The previous record was six runs.

He played in three games this season and recorded two losses with an 11.12 ERA without a win. Yomiuri was defeated 3-12 on the first day of the Hiroshima weekend away. I expected the ace to be revived, but I accepted the disastrous result. Coach Abe Shinnosuke said in an interview after the game that the second-tier adjustment was necessary.

Dogo allowed four runs in five innings in the opening game against Yakult Swallows on March 28 and four runs in three innings against Hanshin Tigers on April 4. The pace failed to raise, but rather fell to the floor.

From 2022-2024, 12 wins for three consecutive years. Expectations were high as Tomoyuki Sugano was the ace in name and reality this season when he left for the Major League. Was this expectation a burden. Or was it because he lacked preparation for the offseason. Some experts said that fatigue accumulated until last year was the cause.

The maximum speed of the fastball on the day was 149 kilometers per hour. The breaking ball control shook. One baseball expert said that recovery is difficult right now.

Dogo is the winner of the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC) Japanese national team. He won 12 games (eight losses) last year with a 1.95 ERA. 2022년에 이

Uh, he ranked first in strikeouts in the Central League. He recorded a no-hitter at Koshien Stadium against Hanshin last year.

Now it's time to reorganize all of your pitching form, mental and physical strength. It is his first crisis in the professional world.
