Masanao Yoshida, who transferred from the professional baseball team Orix to the major league Red Sox, undertook voluntary training at the campsite and hit a strong ball in the outfield during batting practice.
Yoshida has been training voluntarily at the camp site since the 7th of this month for the Red Sox fielders' camp starting on the 20th in Fort Myers, Florida.
On the 14th, after weight training, I got knocked in the third defensive position and checked his footwork.
After that, I practiced batting while Coach Cora was watching, and even though I hadn't hit a full swing yet, I hit the ball one after another from the center to the left, and even went over the fence in the center.
In addition, there was a scene where he was having a fun conversation with his teammates, and it seemed that he was making good adjustments for his first major league camp.
The Red Sox were at the bottom of the Eastern Division of the American League last season. I have high expectations for the players," he said.
