Yes, the rookie opening cleanup for the first time in 49 years! Infielder Teruaki Sato (22 = Kindai University), who ranked first in the Hanshin Draft, sat at No. 5 for the first time as a professional player. There were no hits in 4 at-bats and 1 walks, but there was a chance that he would make his official debut with the “fifth right wing.”

So far, the No. 6 has been designated for seven consecutive races, but he started for the first time as the “No. 5 right-winger.” Manager Yano revealed his intention after the match. “Marté also has a good eye for hitting. In the flow after that base, I was wondering if it would be okay to have a fifth total.” By placing Teruaki Sato at No. 5, you can join in a “zigzag” with the right and left of the No. 4 Oyama. “It’s in good condition, of course. I wonder if that should be the case. Today I had a chance,” he hoped to work as a points catcher as soon as possible. It will be the first time since Mitsuru Mochizuki in 1972 if Hanshin’s newcomer starts in the first round.

Teruaki Sato was silent hitless in 4 at-bats and 3 strikeouts in a battle that required more than Mr. was shot to the right. In the 3rd inning, 1 kill, 2nd and 3rd base, he struck out on a 146km fork with a low outside angle. He made a full swing against the opening pitcher, but no pleasant sound was heard. Even on defense, he registered a misstep with a bad pitch that strayed far from third base as he processed the hit that rebounded off the right wing of Sano Nyo, who was at first base with two kills in the sixth inning. There was also a scene where the pinch was widened with second and third base. Still, he showed his intention to create a third chance by calmly walking Urushihara, the final at-bat at first and second bases in the ninth inning.

Stopped in 3 rounds in a row. In the open game after the draft system he showed good progress with 6 home runs, which is the most newcomers, but it was a short break. There are two games left for the inauguration. There are still chances of surpassing the seven home runs scored by rookie Shigeo Nagashima (giant) in 1983.[Ayano Iso]
