Seibu won for the second year in a row "Director" crying of men crying on September 25 12:43

Seibu won the Pacific League for the second year in a row, but last year was a “perfect victory” that never gave up the lead. This was a contrasting battle style, where it was first for the 130th game.

The driving force behind the victory is the director ’s cry

Director Sakai won the championship last year, but lost to Softbank in the climax series and failed to achieve the goal of Japan.

After the final round of the climax series, Director Samurai greeted at the home. “I'm disappointed. I didn't expect this season to end,” he squeezed words in front of more than 30,000 fans. The players did not forget this tear.

It was the performance of the team's mood maker, Saint Kumayo.

September 11, 2nd place · Seibu greeted by 1 game difference · Leader battle with Softbank. In the circle just before the match, Kumayo said to his teammates wearing a piece of the director's paper that the team made for another purpose.

“Don't you forget what I said after the end of last season? Seibu, who had a good pitch from Neil pitcher in this match, won the first place by winning 4-1. It was 130 games this season.

The decisive factor in winning is not only the strong batting line

Speaking of Seibu's team color, baseball is a victory. The total score and team batting average are top 12 teams. On the other hand, the team defense rate is the second worst 4.35 out of 12 teams. There is no doubt that the presence of powerful batting lines has become the driving force behind the victory.

In addition to the batting power, attacks involving legs also threatened other teams. As an Ibushi Silver player who has a small skill during his active days, he has won nine league championships in support of Seibu's golden age.
As a director, I have been seeking high consciousness from players who are actively aiming for the next trap.

As a result, the number of thefts was 133, the highest in the third year since taking office. It is a record of the 12th team. In addition, there were many cases where scouts that did not appear in the record led to scoring.

One of them was a giant game on June 11th, with two outs. First base runner Sosuke Genda rushed to the home with a hit in front of the center hit by Hodaka Yamakawa.

It was a play in which the outfield defense was slightly disturbed. This became a topic that reminded me of the “Legend of the Legend” that Sakai in the active era showed in the Japanese series with a giant 32 years ago.

Genda said, “It's natural for runners to aim for the next trap.” The runners who lead to these scores were in September when the battle for victory entered the climax.

In the Lotte match on the 14th, Takeya Nakamura who is 36 years old and weighs 102 kg. Nakamura, who went out to the foreball from the 10th out of the extension, watched the next hit and the long hit by Mehia and stayed home without hesitation as he fell in front of the center from the defensive position of the outfielder. I aimed.

If it was caught, it was a double play, but it was the final point that gave good judgment. After the match, Director Samurai said, “Did you see that run? That ’s a great place in Nakamura.

The 18th Orix match. In the 2 out, 1st and 3rd scenes, the first runner, Shogo Akiyama, jumped out, and when the catcher sent the ball to the second base, he was caught in between.

The third base runner, Takumi Kuriyama, started in a timely manner and revived when he saw the short following the ball chase Akiyama.

Kuriyama said with a smile, “I was able to run at the best timing. During the season, I was able to get advice from the director,“ Look at the situation, go when you can dare to aim ””.

It has been one year since the director's crying. Seibu's 2nd consecutive league victory showed that the baseball that the commander aimed for has permeated the team. (All figures are as of September 23)
