Kazuki Murabayashi, a 26-year-old professional baseball player, is expected to be a regular shortstop for Rakuten. He played in 98 games last season, the most in his career, with a batting average of.256, 77 hits, 32 RBIs, and 11 stolen bases.
He had gained 3 kg during the off-season, and was conscious of the form that transmitted force from the hip joints, and from the early start to the whole practice.
