The giant does not lose a day. About four hours before the first open game against Yakult, he practiced signing at the Tokyo Dome.

The goal was to put team tactics on outfielder Taishi Hirooka (21), who won a trade with Yakult in the 1st.

After all the practice on day 2, Tatsunori Hara (62) said, “I’ll let you come over tomorrow a little earlier and the sign game will be involved. The pitcher will also cooperate. I’m doing a general sign game. I think I’ll go. “Two days after the announcement, the team, including the pitchers, spent time with new friends.

Trading is not the goal for this to happen. Director Hara said: “A good exchange means that both parties play an active role. Taguchi is a defeated Giant. When we fight, they call us ‘Taguchi defeated’. Hirooka has a lot of power. It is a place where the Giants can prove it in minutes.” . The true purpose of trading is to bring out skills that have yet to be proven in the new environment. Hirooka is a promising action that was expected as a great shortstop with attractive long hitting power. To make it bloom as quickly as possible, the giant took some time to play with the signs before the start of pre-match practice.

There was a giant belief in this trade that it would not kill players. That’s why pitcher Kazuto Taguchi (25), who can do full rotations with starting pitchers and middle pitchers, was sent to the new world.

On the other hand, we have taken possible measures to prevent acquired players from being “killed”. Coach Hara, who took a photo with Hirooka during pre-game practice, expressed his intention to suddenly step on the bench in the game against Yakult Swallows that day. “There is a possibility (of participation). He is a very refreshing young man. He said he grew up big anyway. We will cooperate,” he hoped again.

It can be tens of minutes that the practice time has been shortened. However, after paying close attention to these dozens of minutes and doing as much preparation as possible, I could see the seriousness of wishing the growth of the giant player, where he immediately gave him a chance.[Takuya Hamamoto]
