Professional baseball player Nobuhiro Matsuda, who transferred to the Giants, is working hard to swing the bat at a camp in Miyazaki City from early morning until detention practice in order to regain his characteristic long-hitting power.
Matsuda, who is 39 years old, is known for his fighting spirit, and has been known for his performance of shouting “Atsuo” after hitting a home run.
He played 43 games last season without a home run, and after leaving Softbank, where he played for many years, joined the giants with the aim of continuing to play active duty.
On the 3rd, the third day since he entered the camp, he participated in the early morning practice that started at 7:00 am and hit 700 balls with tee batting.
Matsuda is trying to regain his characteristic long-hitting power, and is conscious of hitting the ball hard and sending it far. I let you know.
Not only was he agile in handling the grab when he received a knock in the third position, but he also raised his voice with every pitch to cheer up his teammates.
In addition, after the general practice was over, Matsuda practiced batting in the detention practice for about 30 minutes while checking the feel of the batted ball.
Matsuda said, "I don't think it's a good idea to change the playing style of Nobuhiro Matsuda, who has been playing until now, so I'm playing in my own way regardless of age. As long as time allows, I'm working hard on baseball." I was.
