UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Wednesday, May 3, 1995 Pitcher makes major debut Former Japanese player throws five scoreless innings The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Though he has used Roger Clemens as a model, Hideo Nomo seemed more like a right-handed Randy Johnson in his major league debut yesterday. Nomo, the first Japanese native to play in the majors in three decades, was overpowering when he got his pitches over the plate. But, like Johnson, he often had trouble with his control. "I'm glad to see it," said Maki Sato, a Japanese native who now lives in Menlo Park, Calif. "Baseball was taught by the American people, and finally we came back to say thank you." Nomo, 26, allowed just one hit and struck out seven in five scoreless innings for the Los Angeles Dodgers in their game against the San Francisco Giants. A fan in right field held up a big red "K" sign after each Nomo strikeout. But Nom, who retired after five seasons with the Kintetsu Buffaloes of Japan's Pacific League so he could play in the United States, also walked four — including three straight in the first inning. He was way outside and high on many pitches. It took Nomo 32 pitches and 20 minutes to get out of the first. After getting Darren Lewis on a called third strike and forcing Robby Thompson to pop out weakly to first, he walked Barry Bonds, Matt Williams and Glennallen Hill. He then struck out Royce Clayton on an inside fast ball, much to the delight of a fan waving a Japanese flag behind first base. Nomo has a pitching motion reminiscent of Luis Tiant. He slowly stretches his arms high above his head. Then he turns his back to the plate, pivots and whips his right arm toward the plate. His windup is more conventional when runners are on base and he's pitching from the stretch. Nomo allowed his only hit in the third on a double off the left-field wall by Thompson that could have been caught by Billy Ashley. Nomo also made his first pro appearances at the plate, since the designated hitter is used in Japan's Pacific League. The former outfielder went 0-for-2. He struck out in the third and hit a sharp grounder up the middle in the fifth, but was thrown out by Giants shortstop Clayton. 9th & Iowa Hillcrest Shopping Center Don't get stuck in the stacks... come check out our Beer Library! 928 Mass.
