Hanshin Sato Teru “I’ve been told to do it …” Gorilla pose with oversized bullets – Professional Baseball: Nikkan Sports

Infielder Teruaki Sato (21 = Kindai), who ranked first in the Hanshin Draft, strongly appealed to the starting lineup with a large bullet. He participated in a practice game (Ginowan) with DeNA with “third third base”, and in the ninth inning, he fired approximately 140 meters of 2 runs on the electric notice board. The second home run already in the outside game. He also had 2 hits from Onuki, who won 10 wins last season, and his batting average is just 50% with 4 hits and 3 RBIs in 5 at-bats. A ready-to-go slugger is showing off a monster class hit.

The cue ball disappeared from view. Right gardeners and center gardeners just look up at the sky. Teru Sato strongly appealed to the starting lineup with a large bullet. Ninth inning, 2 points clear, second base. Strong swing in the middle of DeNA Ise. The hit ball crossed the electric bulletin board next to the rear screen. A 140-meter bullet is estimated to pierce the balloon-proof net installed behind it. “It was sweet in the end. I’m glad I was able to firmly catch it.” I got on the wind blowing from the right wing to the left wing, but it was a monster-class trajectory away from the newcomers.

Second shot in three outside games. “I think long shots are attractive, so I hope I can continue to do so.” When I got back on the bench, I performed the home run performance “Gorilla Pose” by Yokawa, a senior on the team. “They told me to do it, and I did …” Although I’m shy, I hit my breasts with both hands.

It does not matter if the opposing caster is in the first army class. For the first time, he took out an Onuki inside-angle fastball on his right arm with 10 wins last season, and doubled in a timely fashion with a line on the right touchline. In the third inning, he hit two at-bats in a row. In the seventh inning, he caught Muto’s curve and made a double round at second base. “I think the way we attack will change as we go into the season. It’s not because we got it right, but because of today’s result, and I’d like to move on to the next one and do well.”

Looking back humbly, he has 4 hits in 5 at bat and 3 RBIs, and in battle royale, he has 11 hits in 22 at bat and a 50% batting average. When it comes to foreign games, 14 at-bats, 9 hits, 2 home runs and 6 RBIs are untouchable. Head coach Inoue said, “I have to assess whether I have one or two heads.” Hiroshima striker Iwamoto also tightened his vigilance, saying: “I have to study more.”

The expression after the game was filled with satisfaction. “I think it’s in good condition. I have no choice but to do it, so I’ll do my best.” A ready-to-wear slugger who joined after a four-team competition. There is no lie in your ability. The opening starting lineup has become a reality.[Ken Tadamatsu]
