The Hiroshima Toyo Carp held a press conference to introduce Michael Alan Schultz on Jan.28.
Mr. Schultz told the press conference:
''I am very glad to come to Japan, and I am very honored to join the Hiroshima Carp.
I want to do my best for the victory of our team.
My height gives me an advantage, and my sales point is that I throw hard.
I'd like to be a reliever rather than a starter.
I would post a sub-3.00 ERA."
