At the professional baseball giant's camp, Hayato Sakamoto, the center of offense and defense who suffered from injuries last season, practiced from 7:00 am and energetically transferred the bat.
The Giants' camp held early morning practice from 7:00 am on the 2nd, and in addition to main players such as Sakamoto and Kazuma Okamoto, veteran players such as Hisayoshi Nagano and Nobuhiro Matsuda also participated.
Among them, Sakamoto practiced hitting balls one after another with tee batting, and hit about 200 balls.
After that, in the free batting held on the ground, Sakamoto tried not to hit far, but to hit carefully, and hit the center and right direction with sharp line-like hits.
Sakamoto, 34, was unable to reach the regular turn at bat for the first time since 2008 when he became a regular player last season due to injuries to his right knee and back pain. It was 5 grades.
Sakamoto said, "My body has good tension and I'm feeling tired. It's only the second day, so I want to gradually improve my condition so as not to get too excited. Last year I couldn't accompany the team, so it's been a year. I want to do my best so that I can leave a good result without leaving."
