It was in the second at-bat that Maru was killed by Softbank starting pitcher Chiga. Sakamoto and Okamoto, who hit the front four times in a row, chose four balls in a row. The fifth circle also has 2 changing balls, 2 balls. And the third dance that was received. He approached a straight ball with a low outside angle and was killed by Yugoro.

“That at-bat was one point. However, if you missed, it was a difficult round with a ball. I think I had to catch Chiga’s ball straight at the head of the circle.”

Mr. Kobayashi was concerned about Maru’s missed hit in the front seat. I firmly identified the fork continuing from 2 innings, 1 kill, 1 ball, and 2 strikes. And it was the sixth ball that turned into a complete count. I couldn’t get my hands on the 159 km of straight, which was the last minute of the ride with a low inside angle from Chiga.

That’s why Mr. Kobayashi analyzes that he was more aware of the stairs in the second at-bat.

“(The ball that was tossed) was a straight that could be called a strong ball. I think it was Chiga’s best ball in this game. So this fastball is at the head of the circle (even next at bat. ).) There must have been “.

If I put my hand on my fork and wave it in the air, I may not have been aware of the straight. Maru had 1 hit on 13 hits and stopped in the Japanese series with Softbank last year. He has won the league for the fifth time in a row since the Hiroshima era, but since he has never been the best in Japan, he felt responsible enough to express his feelings that he was “hungry for the best in Japan.” The enthusiasm for this series is considerable.

In the second at-bat, which was greeted by an opportunity, he aggressively sought a shot that would give the team a boost. Two changing balls continued and it became a ball, creating a situation in which a straight ball has a high probability. I went straight to the swing because it was coming straight while aiming.

“It’s also a decisive short-term battle that lacks calm. I felt like Maru was trying to capture that Chiga fastball, but the ball is too difficult to reach. The fastball came, so” OK “I thought he was shaking it.” .

In the end, the giant was trying to score a point from Softbank’s guardian god, Mori, in the ninth inning. Maru landed the right front punch that led to that point. Starting from the next round, blows leading to victory are required.
