Director Hanshin Yano "Exciting Feeling Strongest" Adjust the day before the opening game June 18 18:44
Professional baseball Hanshin made adjustments before the season opening match with the giant at Tokyo Dome on the 19th, and Director Yano Yasuhiro said, ``While many people are suffering from the new coronavirus, we are playing baseball. I want to show everyone fun baseball," he said.
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, this year's professional baseball will start on the 19th with a delay of about 3 months, and last season Hanshin, who is ranked third in the league, will face the opening game with the giant who won the league.
The players made adjustments at Tokyo Dome from around 4 pm on the 18th, and the pitcher, Yuki Nishi, who was the first opening pitcher in Hanshin, prepared for the pitching.
Hanshin won Justin Bohr, who has a proven record in major leagues this season, in order to eliminate the lack of scoring power, and strengthened relief teams such as Robert Suarez to increase the thickness of the layer. The key to further emergence is how these new strengths will perform in the season starting on the 19th.
Director Yano said, “I'm most excited to see that it finally starts. We'll be able to play baseball while many people are suffering from the new coronavirus, so I'd like to show everyone a fun baseball game. I was talking."
In addition, pitcher Fujikawa Kyuji, who is close to "7" up to 250 saves in total, was enthusiastic about "I want to run through the season with a stronger feeling than usual because the start of the season was delayed".
