Communication with training Luciano “Pitches that always get strikes”
On the 1st, Giants’ new manager Shinnosuke Abe revealed his “bad words” as a manager. Autumn training camp in Miyazaki has started, and in the morning I observed the pitchers’ bullpen pitching. He listed the forbidden words when serving as a first-team manager.

In the bullpen, he was often seen calling out to players under development. He said, “Many of the kids were seeing it for the first time,” but he remained tight-lipped regarding what it actually looked like. “I’ll try not to say that he was good in the bullpen. I’ve seen a lot of bullpen aces. I think he pitched in a game and didn’t score well. I don’t judge him at all over there (in the bullpen).” These words come from wearing a mask on the front lines for many years.
He communicated with Elvis Luciano, a 23-year-old developmental player who pitched in 25 games for the Blue Jays in 2019, through an interpreter. “He had a variety of pitches. He had a variety of pitches, but I wanted him to have two breaking balls and a pitch that would always get a strike. I told him what I wanted.” The team’s ERA of 3.39 is fifth in the league. He looks at the pitching staff from the perspective of a coach who has served as a regular catcher.
