Professional baseball scout “There is enough duplication of draft 1st place” Evaluation of Shogo Asano (Takamatsusho) heard locally “Maki (DeNA) type, but Asano has faster feet”-Draft meeting | High school baseball-Number Web

　Takamatsu quotient, Shogo Asano center fielder (3 years, 170 cm 86 kg, right-handed double hit)2 home runs in a row.

Sakucho Seisen, the first Koshien match. The signs were already visible from the previous two at-bats.

first at-bat. I can’t move my head at all from the count 2-2 fastball full of outside corners and the short bound slider immediately after that.

The tempting ball was thrown on the farthest course from my eyes, and I didn’t pull my body and didn’t change my eye position.

In the second turn at bat, the “height” of the third base fly that hit high is not a high school student.

The flying ball, which melted into the clear blue sky with a touch of autumn for a moment and then fell, had a flight time of 6.96 seconds.

If it exceeds 6 seconds, it is said to be a professional class flight time. Seiya Suzuki (Cubs), who was in Nishogakusha University High School, was so high that he lost sight of both the second and shortstops, but even so, he could only reach the first half of 6 seconds.

I was surprised by Asano’s “ball selection eye”

So in the third at-bat, when Asano’s liner-like hit seemed to be sucked into the deepest part of the right middle, I wasn’t too surprised by the result of a “home run.” What surprised me was the content.

As with the first at-bat, the full count after ascertaining the short bounce of the slider and the outside after being driven in without moving a bit, the 6th pitch. It looked like the ball outside the middle was caught at a relatively close point above home plate.

Asano’s hits from the center to the right middle direction are very long. Creating a “power point” close to the body and pushing it from there is wonderful.

What surprised me was his “eyeball selection”. It is a ball selection eye to determine the strike and the ball, but it is also a ball selection eye to find the ball to hit. Both are great.

In this turn at bat, only one of the 6 balls thrown by Asano was the 6th ball that hit. He threw that “just one ball” into the deepest part of the right middle, farthest from the home of Koshien.

Reminded me of Okamoto Kazuma (Giant)’s high school days

And the highlight was the 4th at bat.

As expected, I took the slider system from the middle inner corner from the count 2-2 with a liner just to the left stand.
