Is it impossible to upgrade even the hawk, Shuto, who has stolen 13 games in a row? Yutaka Fukumoto’s “untouchable” records | Full account

Shuto who broke the record while the speed of the caster etc. evolved more than before

■ Softbank 4-3 Seibu (30th, Met Life)

[PR]How to use DAZN revealed by the giant Sakurai, the key man of the league championship, as a trigger of reflection to jump

Yukyo Shuto, an infielder at Softbank, set a new professional baseball record by stealing 12 games in a row against Lotte on the 29th at PayPay Dome. Even in Seibu’s game on the 30th, he decided to steal the base and extended the record to 13 games in a row. The longest major league record is 12 games, which is the “world record” that surpasses this.

It was Mr. Yutaka Fukumoto, the well-known “robbery king of the world”, who held the professional baseball record until Shuto passed away. Twice in 1971 and 1974, he scored 11 consecutive robberies, and this time Zhoudong set a great record for the first time in 46 years.

Mr. Fukumoto has a lot of good theft record. Compared to 1969 to 1988, when it was active, modern baseball has developed the technology of the pitcher’s fast pitch and catcher’s second base pitch, and stealing is said to be more difficult than at that time. Only the record of continuous robberies determined in that situation shines prominently.

And thanks to Shuto’s success, the genius of the numerous records that Mr. Fukumoto has set is also reaffirmed.

Currently, Zhoudong has decided to steal 23 bases a month, but the record for the most bases stolen per month is 27, which was set by Fukumoto in August 1972. Zhoudong is currently in fourth place in history, but it is unlikely to have to decide 4 stolen bases in the Battle of Seibu on the 31st and 5 stolen bases to upgrade.
