After the whole practice, I practiced batting in the rest and kept swinging the bat for almost an hour, keeping in mind how to set the timing so as not to be late.
Shibata, who is aiming to increase his batting average from last year, which was in the 25% range, said, "I'm definitely getting better than last year, and I'm practicing better to hit in the game. This season I haven't decided on a regular infield. There are plenty of opportunities at this point, so I want to be prepared to be a leader in the team. "
