At Softbank's Miyazaki camp in professional baseball, new player Walker hit a series of sharp, liner-like balls while free batting, saying, ``If you can hit the ball well with the liner and get the angle, you can make a home run.'' He is showing signs of adjustment.
SoftBank's camp in Miyazaki City is now on its fourth day, and batting practice was held during the lunch break for the first time, with Walker, a new player from the Giants, participating.
Walker, a 32-year-old American, hit 23 home runs in his first year in Japan, and is expected to be a new addition to the team as a right-handed batter with long-hitting ability, which the team lacks along with Hotaka Yamakawa.
Walker's swing was focused on the direction from center to right-center, and he made a series of sharp hits, including hits that hit the net that was set up to prevent the pitcher from hitting the batting pitcher.
Walker said, ``The idea of batting is to catch the ball with the core and hit the ball with a liner style from center to right-center.If you can do that well and get the angle, you can make a home run.''He is making adjustments with an eye on the future. is showing.
