Infielder Nippon-Ham Sho Nakata (31) scored Ma’s first goal of the season, which he shot for a return to Japan. On the 20th, in the first practice game with Rakuten (Kin Town ballpark), Masahiro Tanaka (32) fired the first three runs towards the left center seat of the grass. This is Masaru Tanaka’s first home run in 3849 days since his first professional game on August 8, 2010. The auspicious start to the rematch season for the first time in eight years, he was not worried and became more cautious.

Nakata thought from the moment she got up in the bedroom. “Dislike”. “I don’t like it” for about 30 minutes by bus from Nago to Kin in the camp. The reason why Moyamoya doesn’t stop is because Ma, who was not good at batting average of 10%, 8 minutes and 5 minutes, is the opponent. However, the first kill is first and second base. It was the fifth ball thrown by Masaru Tanaka, who said, “I felt very big. I had a very big aura.”

Nakata I think it’s a slider. It was firmly in the core so I thought it would fly. The timing was completely wrong, but I was lucky. Happens.

The hit ball landed on the left middle grass seat, although it was out of shape. The first hit of the season, which jumped in the sixth at-bat in three real games, was three runs from natural enemies.

When I switched to the third inning, I ran into Masaru Tanaka who retired in the second inning.

Nakata Mr. Tanaka, it’s been a long time.

Masaru Tanaka Don’t hit!

Nakata turns out to be.

Sorry, but Nakata said, “They greeted me with a big smile.” Was the bow thrown by Masaru Tanaka for the first time in 11 years since the first professional match in 10 years, a special one?

Nakata No, I think Mr. Tanaka also throws only about 60%. Honestly, I have no joy when I hit it today. When the season started, I was hanging around (diamonds) thinking I wouldn’t throw it in such a (sweet) place.

Knowing the true trash of Masaru Tanaka, Nakata was more cautious about the season. Regarding the division that failed on the third ball, he said: “I missed it because I was off the field today, but when it comes into the season, they will leave me in a better place.”

Still, the opponent who has to overcome the reconquest of hegemony. “(On game day) I’m sure I’ll be uncomfortable every morning …” as he lamented, “That’s why this shot is important.” Motionless No. 4 said powerfully.[Daisuke Kinoshita]
