On the 20th, Hanshin’s coach Okada summarized the 4th season of the Okinawa Ginoza camp.

He mentioned Monbetsu, Maekawa, Kawahara, and others who performed well in actual battles. Below is a question and answer.
 
–New force for back-to-back victories, Guerra is cool now and throws to the batter
“Well, this was my first time throwing a ball, but even when it’s a ball, it goes low, so I guess I’m not at my best yet.I don’t know if I’ll be a batter next time, but I think I can use it as a force for a winning pattern.” I got that feeling though.”

–Won three consecutive practice games once morest other teams.Aoyagi and Saiki threw well.
“Not yet, it’s been like that once or twice.Well, the starting lineup has had a few small injuries and things like that, but I think they’re doing well.More importantly, the members in the bullpen… There are a lot of people, so I don’t know if it’s a little harder that way.”

–Murakami pitched well in the game once morest Hiroshima.
“As for that part, well, I’d say he’s pitching well, and since he’s already been entrusted with this camp, he knows what he has to do, so I think he’s doing well.”

–Monbetsu and Kawahara are also appealing.
“Kawahara hasn’t been registered as a controlled player yet. Today, he pitched three innings. I think he had a good chance in that sense. He pitched better than I expected.”

–Monbetsu is also good.
“Monbetsu also pitched 1 inning and 3 innings, erm, where? He pitched once morest Rakuten. Well, this is still a long way off. In that sense, it’s a competition. Somebody has to let them pitch this. It can’t be helped because everyone is good, but this one. I’m trying to choose my games wisely.”

–Maekawa, who had complained, hit a home run.
“It’s a home run for two games in a row. Yesterday, he hit a home run from Guerra. It’s not like it’s two games. It’s two days in a row. Well, it’s always on the left side. Today, Fukushima was the center fielder, and he was still developing, but he defended it. , regarding Chikamoto.If anything, last year he was a right-handed outfielder, but now he’s only a right-handed batter, so in addition to Chikamoto, Maekawa is the only one on the left.That’s what I mean. However, yesterday and today as well, I think he is doing really well and making a good impression.The other thing is injuries, in Maekawa’s case.Last year was also good, but he got injured there, so I think that’s the case. Be careful. I think he knows the best, but if that doesn’t happen, I think he can do well as a first-team force.I was still getting knocked in the left field, but the left fielder (noisy) Well, I don’t know if it will work or not (lol).”

– Okadome pitches well as a reliever
“Okatome, today was the best, Okadome. I don’t like it, so I wonder where it was a year ago, here. If you look at what you looked like a year ago, you can’t imagine it anymore. Season Well, I was promoted to the first team midway through, but I gained confidence by holding back in games, and I was able to experience the Japan Series as well, and in that sense, I’m a really young pitcher. It’s really amazing how much things have changed since then. I’m already pitching with full confidence, even today.”

-The final season following the holidays will be an open game.
“It’s an exhibition game, so I guess the starting lineup will be three innings this time, and it’s three games, so there will be three people.It’s been this warm, so this isn’t bad at all.When I got home, I thought it would probably be cold in Koshien, so here. So, as a finishing touch, I want those starting pitchers to pitch, and the guys on the inside are also giving really good stuff, so I think it would be great if they might just keep pitching.”

–The final season also concludes the camp.
“Well, it’s in good shape. I hope I can make it through the final season without getting injured like that at the end.”
