Professional baseball player Keita Sano, captain of DeNA, practiced batting at a camp held in Ginowan City, Okinawa Prefecture, with the goal of winning the title of the leading hitter.
Last season, Sano hit 161 hits with a batting average of 30%, 6%, and won the title of the most hits in the Central League for the first time, and was also selected as the best nine.
He had surgery on his right elbow in October last year, which caused discomfort, but in the catch ball held on the morning of the 4th, he threw a powerful ball that didn't seem to affect him.
Sano is aiming for the title of leading hitter this season, and I believe that it is important not only to hit hits to win the title, but also to reduce the number of at bats by choosing a lot of four balls and not lower the batting average.
In the free batting against a pitcher for the first time from noon, while hitting sharp hits, he missed 10 balls out of 25 without hitting them, showing his good eye for ball selection. .
Sano said, "It was the first time I've faced a pitcher since last season's Climax Series, so the timing wasn't right yet, but I was able to confirm my strike zone. I'd like to adjust the distance from now on." was
