At the Miyazaki camp of professional baseball, Orix, 19-year-old Kotaro Kurebayashi, who is in his second year of high school, is working to improve his batting form with the aim of becoming a regular short player.
Kurebayashi is a large infielder with a height of 1 meter and 86 centimeters, and is a promising player who participated in all 86 games, which is the largest number of teams in the 2nd army last season in the first year.
At this camp, we are working to improve the batting of the task with the aim of becoming a regular short, and we are trying a swing that swings upward with reference to Miguel Cabrera, who won the Triple Crown in the Major League Tigers.
In the batting practice on the 8th, he seemed to be getting a response to the long hitting power, such as hitting 5 out of 25 balls over the fence.
After that, Masataka Yoshida, who was the top hitter last season, advised me to hit the ball from the lower body so that the upper body would not open when hitting the in-course ball, and I started practicing immediately.
Kurebayashi was enthusiastic, saying, "I want to practice so that I can hit back the in-course ball that I am not good at. Since the red and white battle will start tomorrow, I want to appeal with batting and get regular."
