Orix Shumpeita Yamashita pitcher Shunpei Yamashita (23) is spending the "autumn season pitching." It was announced on the 3rd that he will be joining the Kochi camp starting on the 6th for the first time in two years, along with Mori and others. After overcoming a back injury this season, Yamashita vowed to build a foundation for his first complete season, saying, "Next season, my goal is to pitch for the whole year. I want to build a body that won't get injured and improve my level."
"This is a great opportunity to devote the whole day to baseball, so I want to work hard from morning to night." During the same period in the past two years, he was mainly focused on rehabilitation for spondylolysis of the third lumbar spine. This autumn, he will be playing in perfect condition for the first time since his debut in the first team in 2011, and he plans to spend as much time as possible practicing pitch and long throws to get his form ingrained in his body. pitcher coach Atsuzawa said, "We will also specify the number of pitches (to be thrown). Peta has become able to throw, so I want him to continue pitching during the off-season," setting a policy similar to that of Yamashita.
Dodgers' Yamamoto, who won the MVP of the World Series on the 1st (Japan time 2nd), inspired me, saying, "We did it in the same environment pitcher, so there is potential for everyone. On that day, the 161-kilogram right-hander threw standing up on Maishima, Osaka. He is already looking forward to next season," he said. (Shunta Nanbu)
