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.

DeNA’s new director Daisuke Miura (47) will be the first to take the lead. The opponent of the opening game (March 26) is a giant. In fact, he was also a giant when he first pitched during his active career. On October 7, 1992, he pitched as 3rd from the 7th inning, and kept the 2nd inning without hits. I want to decide “cool and perfect” for the first match as a manager, like Ei-chan.

The new director should have the feeling that he was the original director during his active career. It was struck perfectly. In the first confrontation on September 1, 1993, he hit a midfielder, and on September 26, 1995, the year of his retirement, he hit the final home run from two deaths in the eighth inning. Even if I remember now, “Are you angry?” The match record of 2 at bats, 2 hits and 1 RBI remains.

In contrast, he was extremely strong against Hanshin’s coach Yano. 137 at bats, 25 hits, 10%, 8 minutes, 2 hits. No home runs are allowed. In its heyday, it was called the “Hanshin Killer.” He has 46 wins (32 losses) in total. This may be “Miura ni Urami”.

I was not good at the Giants game with a total of 13 wins and 39 losses. Includes 2 losses in the opening round. There are a lot of unpleasant numbers, but if you don’t win, you won’t be able to win. What kind of results will you get in the director’s debut match? Well, at the moment, “I have no idea what the opening will be.”[Teruaki Yoneya]
