The 4th day of the professional baseball Nippon Ham Okinawa camp was the 4th day, and Kotaro Kiyomiya, who hit 18 home runs, his highest number last season, swung the bat vigorously aiming for a further leap.
On the 4th, the first Saturday of the Nippon Ham 1st Army camp held in Nago City, Okinawa Prefecture, was attended by a large number of spectators.
Kiyomiya, who is in his sixth year as a professional player, hit 18 home runs in 129 games last season, which is the most in his career, and aims to join the battle for home run king this season.
During the camp, Kiyomiya was conscious of using the power of body rotation more effectively when batting, so he continued to swing on that day.
In the free batting, Kiyomiya showed good coordination, hitting big homerun-like hits mainly in the direction of the center.
Kiyomiya said, "I think I'm getting better every day since the camp started. I want to hit 30 or 40 home runs this season."
