He became a professional player through the independent league and reached his prime in his late 20s. He has become the best bullpen pitcher in Japanese professional baseball by switching from starting to relief. A Japanese media outlet cited right-hander Daichi Ishii (28) as the MVP candidate who led the Hanshin Tigers to the Central League championship along with No. 4 hitter Teruaki Sato (25). The two are professional classmates who joined in 2021. It started the same year, but the starting point was different. Sato joined as a first-place name in the spectacular spotlight. Ishii was called the last eight.

The Hiroshima Carp match was held at Koshien Stadium on the 7th. In the top of the eighth inning with a 2-0 lead, Ishii appeared on the mound as the official victory was announced. He sent out pinch hitter Takayoshi Noma with a left-handed hit. He led the next batter to a double play and immediately grabbed two out-counts. No. 2 Sandro Fabien gave up a hit, and No. 3 Ryotaro Hatsuki grounded out to shortstop.

He allowed two hits and no runs in one inning, and allowed no runs in 48 consecutive games. He rewrote the record for the most scoreless game in Japanese professional baseball. Hanshin, who posted a 2-0 Youngbong, confirmed the championship in front of home fans after 126 games in the regular season. It was the first time in two years that he won the league.

I can't remember the failure of redemption. He played in 51 games and posted one win, 35 holds, 9 saves, and an earned run average '0.18'. He is third in the Central League hold. In 51 innings, the loss to the Yomiuri Giants is a loss this season.

The match against Hiroshima on the 13th of last month. In the ninth inning, he pitched a perfect pitch with three strikeouts and no runs. He won 2-0 and reached the scoreless mark in 39 consecutive games. 센트럴리그

Lee has 48 consecutive scoreless games and 47 consecutive innings. If ⅔ innings is added, Fujikawa will reach the most consecutive scoreless innings he recorded during his active career. Photo capture = Hanshin Tigers SNS

He broke the record for the most scoreless games.

The scoreless streak continued. August 17 against the Yomiuri Giants. He pitched in the eighth inning and blocked one scoreless inning. He set a new Japanese professional baseball record by allowing no runs in 40 consecutive games. There have been two major leagues, both of which are performances over two seasons. It is said to be the first in a single season.

Since then, he has dedicated his record to every game he has played. Ishii took the mound in the ninth inning against Hiroshima on the 6th, the day before his victory was confirmed.

Another record is on the horizon. It is the 47th consecutive scoreless ⅔ set by Fujikawa Kyuji as a guardian deity of Hanshin. Ishii has been scoreless in 47 consecutive innings. If you pass one scoreless inning, it is a new record for the most consecutive scoreless innings.

It has become difficult to set a new record right now. Hanshin, who confirmed the championship, excluded Ishii, closer Suguru Iwazaki on the 8th, and Monbetsu Keito, who started on the 6th, from the first-team entry. I made him prepare for the postseason by taking a break.

Ishii is the first professional baseball player from a five-year national high school. After graduating from Akita High School, he continued baseball in the independent league. After trying out, he wore the 2018 Shikoku Island League Kochi Fighting Dogs uniform. When he joined the team, he was an ordinary pitcher who threw mid to late 130 kilometers per hour. 고치 구단

The official said, `I didn't think ISEE would make it to the professional league.'

Ishii started in the independent league and raised his speed to the 150-kilometer mark. It shot up to 153 kilometers. In 2020, he pitched in 17 games and went 6-7 with a 1.69 ERA. The professional team was checking on him. Hanshin called Ishii in the rookie draft held in October of that year.
