Hanshin's Teruaki Sato had two hits in two at bats in the Red and White game on the 12th, including his first home run in an actual game this season, and seemed to be feeling good about the new form he is aiming to master at camp.
On the 12th and 11th, Hanshin's 1st and 2nd armies held a joint Red and White Battle.
Sato started as the first and third pitcher, and in the first inning, hit a solo home run to right field by hitting pitcher Takumi Akiyama's high course.
In the third inning, he got a hit to left field from pitcher Ren Kajiya, making it 2 hits for 2 at bat.
Sato had two hits in two at bats on the 11th, and in two games he had a total of four hits in four at bats, showing that he is making good adjustments.
At this camp, in an effort to improve his batting from last season, when he had many ups and downs, he spent days focusing on the theme of ``hitting with your body, not with the feel of your hands,'' and made adjustments to the way you use your lower body. It seemed like they were having a good time learning the new form.
Sato said, ``I was able to bat well.I'm glad that I was able to feel that what I was doing in practice was correct in the actual game.I hope I can continue to train my batting and defense and play even better.'' I want to go,'' he said.
