On the 9th, Lotte manager Saburo (49) launched the first of his "reforms" at the fall practice at Zozo Marine Stadium. Immediately after the warm-up, the team started running between the poles. After the morning practice, Yasuda, drenched in sweat, rubbed his thighs and said, "We're here!"
A dense and efficient training menu was put together. The usual two-area batting practice was changed to one area. It was impressive to see fielder constantly running between bases depending on the ball fielder were hitting. The new manager grinned as he heard the players' screams, saying, "They're running like crazy. I think that's a good thing. There will be even more during the (fall) training camp, where they'll be doing technical training. It must be tough doing this (base running practice) before that. Everyone was saying, 'My legs are so sore!'"
The theme of the autumn camp in Miyakonojo, Miyazaki is "Showa-era camp." Manager Saburo warned that the autumn will be "hellish," saying, "I'm going to push the players to play to the point where it's okay if they get injured." The foundation for a counterattack has begun to be laid. (Nagai Tsuyoshi)
