Yoshitomo Tsutsugo, who is participating in the training camp of the Major League Giants as an invited player, said on the 20th, ``Due to my position, I have to produce results. I think that's everything.'' He expressed his determination to move up to the Major Leagues. I talked about it.
Tsutsugo, 32, signed a minor league contract with the Giants in August last year, and this year he is participating in major league camp as an invited player.
On the 20th, he participated in actual batting practice at a practice held in Scottsdale, Arizona, and in the free batting afterwards, he showed off his long-hitting ability by making 8 hits over the fence out of 29 swings.
In an interview after practice, Tsutsugo said, ``In my position, of course I have to produce results, so I think that's all that matters.I'm in the best physical condition I've been in in the five years since I moved to the United States.'' ”, he said of his determination to advance to the major leagues.
He has lost a few kilograms in weight, and he says, ``To create good technique, you need a good body and mind.In order to get results in competitions, I have built up my body and mind.'' We were talking.
The Giants are a team in the same Western Division of the National League as the Dodgers, which includes Shohei Ohtani and pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and if Tsutsugo is promoted for the first time in two years, there is a possibility that they will play against both of them.
