Suzuki continues to do well with a batting average of 4.4% in open games.
Suzuki, who is in his third year in the major leagues, started as the No. 2 right fielder in an exhibition game against the Royals in Mesa, Arizona on the 16th, and in his first at-bat, with no runner out, he caught a fastball and hit it into the left-center stand for the lead. He hit a solo home run.
For the Cubs, No. 3 Bellinger and No. 4 Gorms also hit solo home runs, making it three consecutive home runs from Suzuki.
In his second at-bat in the 3rd inning, Suzuki hit a hit in front of center field, and Suzuki also showed off his legs by stealing a base to second base.
Then, in his third at-bat in the 4th inning, he hit a huge two-run home run from a two-out first baseman into the upper row of the left-center stand.He was active in this game with 3 hits in 3 at bats, including 2 home runs, 3 RBIs, and 1 stolen base.
Suzuki, who has participated in 10 exhibition games so far and has continued to perform well with a batting average of .44, said, ``I'm making small adjustments day by day and getting to the plate with a better feeling every day.'' So, I think that's a good thing.Right now, I'm in a period where I'm trying out a lot of things, so I'm focusing more on the way I take turns at bat and the content of my batting than the results.''
Still, regarding his third at-bat when he hit his second home run, he said, ``I didn't feel good when I saw off the first pitch.It turned into a ball, so I had an advantageous count, and it was a good result, but once the season started, I didn't feel that good.'' I can't be naive. If I let myself get away with a single pitch like that, I won't be able to produce good results, so I want to adjust my concentration and way of thinking," he said, not forgetting to reflect.
