I was wondering if Tatsunori Hara, a famous general, would come. This is because I remembered last year, like this time, when the first TG match of the year was held in Koshien. At the time, the Hanshin Tigers’ attention player was new member Bohr.

This game on March 8, 20. The Giants’ defenders took a “Bohr Trade” when No. 4 Bohr entered the at-bat. Third baseman enters the left wing position and becomes a “four-person field system.” The three remaining infielders fought on the right. It was Bohr Shift, who had already shown Nippon-Ham in the open game.

“I’ll try it once. It doesn’t really matter what it looks like. If you don’t move, you can get confused at that point. He’s a powerful left hitter.”

Hara explained. Bohr showed a touch of safety stance, and there was an act that surprised Hara, but I realized again that professionals shouldn’t think about various things.

And it is the first meeting with Teruaki Sato that monopolizes the Hanshin theme. Hara appeared on live television before the game. Just because he knocked out the lottery in the draft last fall, he said, “I wanted it. I just got a great game at Hanshin after a long time. I think the fans will be excited to keep it low.”

Teruaki Sato has had considerable success so far. So I was wondering if something would come up … but it didn’t. But when you are calm, that is normal.

Teruaki Sato’s last bullet that went off in the fourth inning. He jumped to the edge of the left wing post, and as a result of Commander Akihiro Yano’s request, he hit a home run. As this symbolizes, the four home runs in the OP game are from middle to left.

“The straight system is to the left of center, even if it is an inside corner ball, and the ball that changes will be thrown because the head runs more.” When I spoke to Nikkan Sports critic Shinjiro Hiyama the other day, Hiyama analyzed current trends. That’s right, Teruaki Sato got the changeable ball in the third at-bat in the seventh inning and scored the right front.

Either because of the peculiar way of hitting the top part, it may not currently be possible to pull hard in response to a straight line with a fast internal angle. Still, it proves that it can hit a wide angle depending on the course and it hits long too. Above all, such a batter cannot move. I’d like to see the emergence of a “sensitive long-range weapon” even in season. (The honorary title is omitted)[Toshio Takahara](Nikkan Sports.com / Baseball column “Tiger, tiger, tiger!”)
