A student of the Abe 2nd Army coach, the leader of the professional baseball Central League, plays an active role September 17, 8:20

The giant who is the leader in professional baseball and the Central League turned on the magic number 38 to win the championship on the 15th, and on the following 16th, he reduced it by three to 35.

Before the match on the 16th, it was announced that head coach Daisuke Motoki was diagnosed with appendicitis and was hospitalized for surgery.

Suddenly, Shinnosuke Abe, the 2nd army coach, was called as the acting head coach.

I retired from active duty last year, and this year I have been sweating with young people at the Giants Stadium of the 2nd army.



Director Tatsunori Hara told Abe to come to Tokyo Dome around 1:30 pm on the 16th, just before the general practice began.

When I arrived at the stadium, I immediately called out to the players and moved around energetically.



Shunta Tanaka and Soichiro Tateoka, who were in the 2nd army until recently, were named as the starting members of the Hanshin Tigers match on the 16th, in order to rest the main players who were in poor physical condition or in poor condition. ..



And in the game, Tanaka, who was the first starter of this season in the third year, played two RBIs with three hits including the first solo home run of this season.



Regarding the home run, Tanaka recalled that when he was in the 2nd army, he was instructed by the manager of the 2nd army Abe, "Don't get smaller. Swing as hard as you can for a home run." I'm glad that you became. "



Similarly, Tateoka, who was the first starter of the season, also hit the first three-run, which is his first home run in four years.



Tateoka spoke with Abe 2nd Army coach before the home run at bat, and revealed that he "confirmed the trajectory image of the ball with Mr. Abe before entering the bat."



When the match on the 16th was over, the two of them played an active part and won 7 to 6, and the giant won 9 consecutive wins with one draw in between.



After the match, Hara commented that Abe 2nd Army coach acted as head coach, saying, "I didn't get sick because I wanted to be Motoki head coach. This is possible. Abe 2nd Army coach is a player. I think I took the best measure because I know the team as well. I'm always talking to the Abe 2nd Army coach. I don't have to say anything bible again. "



And about the two people who showed their success, they seemed happy, "I wonder if it's called Abe Children. They played a very big role."



On the other hand, after the match, Abe 2nd Army coach, who finished the first day of acting head coach, said, "It was my first time to see the 1st Army match as a coach, so I thought I had to think about various things. I felt it was difficult from the coach's point of view, and I want to keep going until Motoki head coach returns. I just need to give advice and help the team to win. " I was talking.



And about the two who have been instructing in the 2nd army, "I'm very happy. I'm most pleased with the results, and I think that winning in the absence of the main force gave me good confidence as a team. I smiled.



A giant with good visibility to win the league title in a row.

Even if the chief of staff, the head coach, leaves, it does not become an anxiety factor.
