The 2019 CPBL opening day is coming up on March 23rd with the Uni Lions facing off against last year’s Taiwan series champion Lamigo Monkeys. The game is taking place at Taoyuan Stadium. The Monkeys have announced that they are sending newcomer Radhames Liz to the mound as their opening day starter. Liz performed well in the preseason games, so it’s a very obvious choice for the team to pick him as their opening day starter. Liz relied primarily on his four-seam fastball with velocity reaching 152 kph. Liz also mixes in a slider, changeup, and sinker. It’s ten consecutive years that Lamigo has sent a foreign pitcher to the mound on opening day.
On the other hand, the Uni Lions tabbed Josh Roenicke as their opening day starter. A 36-year-old right-hander, Roenicke was 12-10 with a 3.17 ERA in 26 starts last season. One of his dominant pitches is his knuckle-curve featuring a sharp downward bite and has a crisp 12-6 movement. He led the league last year in ERA and had the most wins on his team.
