On the 10th, Jerry Sands, a 36-year-old Hanshin alumnus and scout in the United States visiting the Ginoza camp in Okinawa, was asked which player he was interested in.
He prefaced this by saying, “Everyone has been practicing really hard and I think they’re all doing really well.” He added, “If I had to say anything, I think from watching the two young players, Noguchi and Maekawa, they have something very good. I’m looking forward to seeing how they play,” he said, naming the two players who are aiming for a breakout season. Sands, who played for the Hanshin in 2020 and 2021 and hit 39 home runs and 129 RBIs over the two years, even gave advice to Maekawa during special hits.
He also mentioned Teru Sato, who was his rookie year in 2021 and played with him for one year.
Regarding Teru Sato’s independent training at Driveline, a training facility in the United States frequented by many major leaguers, he said, “It’s more regarding how to use your body than technique.When you’re good, your body moves like this, and when it’s bad, it’s like this.” As long as you are aware of how your body moves, I think the knowledge you gain from Driveline will be useful.” Furthermore, “He is a player with top power and potential in the league. If he believes in what he is doing and concentrates on what he is doing, the results will naturally come.” pushed.
