Lars Nootvar of the Major League Baseball Cardinals batted free at a camp in Florida and showed off a powerful ball that went over the fence. Although there was an accident in which a batted ball broke the window of a fan's car, we can expect to see Nootbar's long-hitting ability this season.
On the 20th, Nootbar practiced for the second day of camp in Jupiter, Florida, and worked up a sweat by participating in live batting practice and free batting.
During free batting, he showed a powerful ball that went over the fence, but there was an accident in which the ball broke the window of a fan's car that was parked outside the fence.
Nootbar was unaware of the incident during practice, but was informed after practice.
Last season, Nootbar hit 14 home runs, but we can expect even more from him this year.
In addition, Nootbar received a knock after playing only in the left field position for two days in a row during defense practice.
In last year's WBC World Baseball Classic, where he represented Japan, and last season, he mainly played center field, but at this year's camp, WBC Korea representative Edman, who can protect the infield and outfield, played center field. Because of his defensive ability, Nutbar is expected to be used more often in left field.
