Masataka Yoshida, the top hitter of professional baseball Orix for the second consecutive year, joined the camp in Miyazaki on the 10th after surgery on both ankles last December and said, "I want to fight for a year without injury."
Yoshida left the battlefield at the end of last season due to an injury to his left thigh and a broken ball in his right hand. I pulled the team as a player chairman.
In December of last year, I performed a cleaning operation on both ankles, which I had been feeling pain from during the season, and adjusted from the camp in to this point at the baseball team facility in Konohana-ku, Osaka.
Yoshida, who joined the camp in Miyazaki on the 10th, did most of the menu such as catch ball and knock separately from the whole.
Also, in free batting, he said, "I am more conscious of my balance than hitting the ball," at first I was swinging the bat to check the feel, but in the second half I increased the swing speed and hit the ball over the fence. I was skipping.
After the practice, Yoshida said, "I haven't completed the entire menu, but I think it's going well. I want to find challenges every day so that I can connect to them in the future. I want to aim for number one, "he said with enthusiasm.
