How will the Giants change this season, led by new manager Shinnosuke Abe, the first manager in team history to be a former catcher? The second part of the interview, which explores the essence of “Abe Baseball,” covers the expectations of the pitching staff for key players and many pitchers, and the issue of reorganization of the relief staff. Also, from the perspective of a former catcher as a manager, we get a closer look at the “fresh air” that is being brought into the team. (2nd part of all 2 parts/read from the beginning)
–Who will be the key players on the pitching staff?
Director Abelarge crowd! That’s all. He is everything!
–The final stage of the game is the challenge.
Director AbeI agree.
For many who left…
–This off-season, they acquired pitcher Daisuke Kondo from Orix and pitchers Rei Takahashi and Keisuke Izumi from Softbank in a trade. I think the depth of the relief team has grown considerably, with Hanshin’s pitcher Kosuke Baba being selected in the active draft, and Kyle Keller, a former Hanshin pitcher with a proven track record as a reliever, being added as a new foreigner. . Is that why the 9th inning is so important because you have strengthened the back including the set upper?
Director AbeThat’s right. After all, a team that has good control is strong. When this becomes a problem, the entire team and pitcher suffers. If that happens, everyone will suffer from unnecessary fatigue and it will be difficult to last a one-year season. A vicious cycle is born.
–There are concerns that many of you have left the Miyazaki camp due to pain in your right calf, but if that were to happen, would Keller emerge as a candidate to suppress?
Director AbeOf course, I want Keller to get into a winning pattern, and the idea is to leave him with the best parts in the late stages. However, I don’t think most people are that seriously ill. The parts are different so I’m trying to do it carefully. I told them not to rush, there was still time until the opening, so please adjust accordingly.
–Is conditioning the biggest issue when it comes to large groups?
Director AbeI think it’s just the condition that allows him to pitch for a full year. If he does it properly, the results will come naturally in his case. After all, a pitcher who is entrusted with closing down is required of everything. If I had to pick an issue from last year, it would be that he was easily run, and I would like him to overcome that.
Not concerned with theory
–Who are you planning to be the set-up to connect the crowd?
Director AbeI don’t know…I’m thinking about it right now, and I’m worried. There are many candidates. The same goes for Keller, as well as (Alberto) Baldonado and (Kota) Nakagawa, those three guys. And if things are going well, Kondo. He also has experience.
