Who will win this year’s professional baseball game? Hanshin, who had lost consecutive games in exhibition games, Chunichi with the addition of Sho Nakata, and Giants facing new manager Shinnosuke Abe…We will report on the current situation and issues of each team, as seen from transfer trends during last season’s off-season, camp, and exhibition games. .[First of two times]
Consecutive losses in open games are on solid ground…Hanshin
This season’s Central League will be centered around last season’s champions, Hanshin.
They have lost 9 consecutive games since the opening. Although some voices expressed concern over this situation, as if Japan’s pride as the No. This is because the content of the match is not something to be pessimistic about.
When I look back at the games I lost, it stands out that one pitcher produced a big inning, and others involved impossible errors. Players would have been replaced during the season, and it’s hard to imagine something similar happening after the season starts. The pitching staff is not all over the place, and there is no impression that the batting lineup is in bad shape.
This is just an open game. For this reason, coach Akifu Okada did not set out to win at all costs. While the development of high school players such as Ukyo Maekawa, who is in his third year of high school, was said to be a “challenge”, he was also giving opportunities to young players. It seems that manager Akifu Okada wanted to gain the rise of such new talent, even at the cost of their “9 consecutive losses.”
Above all, the Hanshin players who experienced the No. 1 ranking in Japan last season are still young. Last season’s Japan Series MVP Koji Chikamoto and number four player Yusuke Oyama are both 29 years old. Shota Morishita is 23 years old and in his second year, Teruaki Sato is finally 25 years old and in his fourth year, and league MVP Shōki Murakami, 25, is also a player in the middle of his development stage.
Additionally, the starting lineup appears to be in good shape, including Akihiro Aoyagi, who has been determined to be the opening pitcher. Shoji Ito, who was under fire in his first pitching, pitched well in the next two games. The situation is improving. Murakami, Hiroto Saiki and others are also able to make games. It looks like the relay team will be ready before the start of the season, but the lineup is solid. Last season’s league champions still have a formidable impression.
The competition for regulars is heating up… Giants
The Giants are a team that is likely to be a good opponent for Hanshin.
