The off-season annual “Yone-chan’s fashionable baseball study”. Reporter Teruaki Yoneya, who has been covering baseball for more than 40 years, will introduce surprising data and episodes while making full use of puns.

It is attracting attention as “a man chasing Shuto (Softbank)”. Lotte’s Koshiro Wada outfielder (21). Last year, when he was registered under the control of a trained player, he suddenly marked 23 stolen bases in 3rd place in the league. An agile athlete type with a large size of 185 cm. It is “Pinch runner (gym?) Brother” who appeared in Lotte.

He suddenly showed his foot in the debut match. It was nine times against Softbank on June 19. If you are nominated as a substitute runner in Kakunaka, do you go through Kai’s throw? I fell into second base. He has participated in a pinch runner 16 times, and failed only once against Orix on the 24th. The success rate was 90%, 3 minutes and 8 minutes.

In 1919, when Shuto also made his debut, there were many pinch runners. The number of attempts was 20 and the success was 15. Success rate 70% 5 minutes. As far as the first year pinch runner was concerned, Shuto had many failures. A year later, he recorded 50 stolen bases and took his first title at once. “Failure is a source of glory.”

Wada is also a person who can sell Lotte. I want to train my striking power, which is said to be an issue, and increase my chances of participating. If the number of turns increases, the chances of stealing bases will be cool. Just because you can run, let’s have the ball thrown (immediately?).[Teruaki Yoneya]
