Walk off dinger for Anko.
Getting his first NPB home run off of a lefty can probably ease some of the worries Seibu’s manager has about his ability to go against lefty pitchers. It would be more great if he hits one out against a Japanese pitcher with SFF as the main weapon.
Another double, this time off Ito.
All recent videos of Anko are disappearing on YouTube for me.
Getting a hit off Ito Hiromi is pretty great.
3 hit/ 4 RBI including a 2-run shot.
Trajectory of the ball, with 109 mph exit velocity.

Ham Fighter is not doing well in JAP baseball, 2nd to bottom, not a good start
Sad
Japan Ham-Pork (ハムファイターズ) not doing well, match this weekend playing K Softbank, match at ハムファイターズ home park Kita Hiroshima
When Anko was struggling I saw some video that said, “All he can do is hit the ball really hard (只能打得很強勁)?”
Now he’s back from nigun and hits a line drive home run. Lord have mercy. That’s gotta beat Chusei Mannami on exit velo.
Three jacks in two games.

Insane launch angle.
Tryna poke a hole in the sky.
This lunch angle is even more insane.
What??? Someone say lunch? I’m hungry.
