Hayato Sakamoto was converted from shortstop, which he had been defending for many years, to third. Sakamoto is trying out a glove with a finger section that is about 5mm longer than the glove he has been using in the past.
He had a batting average of.288 and 22 home runs, and this season as well, he is expected to be a centerpiece, so when he bats, he tries to hit carefully and sends sharp balls mainly toward the center. In addition, 8,000 fans visited on the 3rd, as it was the first day off since entering the camp.
