Don’t be satisfied with the results of the 2nd army! Hanshin Inoue Hirohiro outfielder (19), who is in his second year of high school, performed a voluntary training at his alma mater’s school during the year-end and New Year holidays. “Nambo” was skipped. Last year, he made a presence in the Western League, but with the advice of his seniors, he rampages at the spring camp where the start of the 1st army is unofficially decided.
◇ ◇ ◇
The words of my seniors tightened my feelings early in the new year. Inoue is said to have been told such words by his senior at his alma mater, Lotte Yasuda. It’s the 4th. “The results of the farm are relevant when viewed as the results for going up to the 1st army, but it doesn’t make much sense to get the results at the farm. Seniors who are two years older have much in common with large sluggers and future fourth candidates to join from the same high school graduate. I thought that my spine would grow to the height of consciousness.
Yasuda participated in 113 games, the most in his army last season. He was ranked 4th in 87 games. On the other hand, Inoue played 69 games in the Western League last season. Received a gifted education that was appointed as No. 4 in all games. In the 1st army, he participated in 6 games and recorded his first professional hit, but he was keenly aware of the difference in level with 1 hit in 11 at bats. “Mr. Yasuda said,’I had to put up with it and use it.’ If that person is at that level and in a standing position, I have to work harder.” Yasuda’s real words inspired me.
Director Yano has announced that Inoue’s 1st Army camp will start. The secret weapon Angels Otani Bat is also being prepared for appeal. Currently, he uses the Yasuda model, but he has a special commitment that “bats are commercial tools.” In search of the ideal one, I tried the models of various players such as Hiroshima Suzuki Makoto from the professional entry, and now I also tried the models of Chunichi Fukudome and Rakuten Asamura. We also ordered the Otani model from the same manufacturer. “I’m tall, my limbs are long, and my physique is similar to myself. I want to try various things.” As soon as you get it, check the feel and prepare for the camp in on February 1st.
The goal for this season was to “do everything.” The outfielder’s regular battle is a fierce battle with veterans and mid-level players as new helpers, but he greedily grabs it.[Hayato Okuda]
