'He's Not Throwing Overhand Anymore': Pitcher's Revival Earns Praise from Samsung Lions Manager

Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man expressed satisfaction with the recent performance of Asian quota pitcher Miyaji Yura, noting a significant improvement in his pitching. "He's gotten much better. He's not throwing overhand anymore," Park commented with a smile, referring to Yura's more controlled delivery.

Yura joined the team with high expectations, boasting a fastball that could reach 158 km/h and a strong forkball. However, early in the season, he faced challenges with control, which affected his performance in the initial 14 games during March and April.
