Softbank On the 17th, Masato Akihiro infielder (23), a four-time Home Run champion, revealed that he will train together with Hotaka Yamakawa infielder (33) to become a king body specializing in striking. I hear it's a great training, so I want to use it as a reference for my body building. defense I can't compete with my legs and feet, so I have to hit. I want to increase my muscle mass to increase my distance." He plans to join Yamakawa's training at a ballpark in Fukuoka City in the near future and sweat it out until the end of the year.

He was transferred from The Giants in a 2-for-1 trade with Richard, which also included Oe, in May of this year. He was given an opportunity to play in the first team right away, but was unable to produce results with a batting average of .280, one Home Run, and four RBI, and was removed from the active roster on July 3rd, after which he spent his time in the second team. Aiming to bounce back in his second year since the transfer, he will join The Giants' Sakamoto's voluntary training from January next year, following Yamakawa. Until last offseason, he had been doing joint voluntary training with Chunichi 's Nakata, who retired at the end of this season. "Thanks to everyone, they've been so kind to me," he said, aiming to make a leap by visiting a number of impressive mentors. (Shimao Koichiro)
