At the professional baseball / Hanshin Okinawa camp, Masahiro Kawai, who holds a professional baseball record of 533 sacrifice hits, is a temporary coach, and on the 3rd, he gathered pitchers to convey the secret of Bunt.

During his active career, Kawai played with the Giants in China and Japan, marking 533 sacrifice bunts, which is still a professional baseball record, and winning the Golden Glove Award six times, making him a solid defensive player.



Hanshin had the worst number of errors in the team for the third consecutive year with 12 teams, and invited Mr. Kawai as a temporary coach to improve the defense and strengthen the bunt.



On the 3rd of the 3rd day of the camp, Mr. Kawai gathered pitchers from the afternoon to give a special training of bunt, and after demonstrating at the beginning, hit a bat to catch it with the body and kill the momentum of the ball. He generously conveyed the techniques he had cultivated during his active career, such as devising the angle of the bat to aim for the course.



In addition, Mr. Kawai also participated in the defensive practice of early-arriving players every day, and on the 3rd, he took a picture of the players catching the ball with a smartphone and pointed out the issues while showing the video.



Mr. Kawai said, "There is nothing to hide. I want to tell the players how to prepare for the defense and bunt and how to prepare for it."
