Major League Baseball Red Sox player Masanao Yoshida held a press conference at the team's camp site where he is training independently, and said, "Among the wonderful members, I will participate in next month's WBC = World Baseball Classic as a representative of Japan. I want to spend a wonderful time," he said enthusiastically.
On the 16th, Yoshida conducted his own training in Fort Myers, Florida, and in defensive practice, he entered the left field position, which he mainly defended in Japan, and dealt with fly balls.
In batting practice, he hits wide-angle liner hits, and in the final swing, he hits a fence that is the same height as the 11-meter-high "Green Monster" fence on the left field at Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox. I flew a big hit that crossed.
At a press conference after practice, Yoshida was asked about his aspirations for next month's WBC. We have been away from winning the championship three or four times. I think that winning is the desire of all the people, and we will work hard to achieve that, so I hope we can give a good report.”
