On the 19th, Orix pitcher Shumpeita Yamashita (23) vowed to perfect his "unrivaled body" for next season. During the fall camp, which ends on the 20th, he will manage his nutrition by eating five meals a day (breakfast, lunch, lunch, dinner, and dinner), and his weight is now 99 kg, 4 kg lighter than the same time last year. "It's easier to move around, and I've got a good base for the off-season," he said emphatically.
"Imagine eating less from morning to night," he said, strictly sticking to a low-fat, high-protein diet. He ate the equivalent of four egg whites before going to bed. He went fishing on camping days off to refresh himself, and ate out only once in Kochi. He ate a single hamburger, and that was just to replenish his calories.
He joined the lineup this season in September, and has one win in four games with ERA 1.25. His back is in good condition, and he intends to overwhelm his opponents, saying, "I want to be able to pitch from the start of the season. I simply don't want to get hit." He plans to gain one kilogram over the three months off, and ideally enter camp at 100 kilograms. Shunpei University is in top form, and it's time for a scary team. (Nagata Toru)
Keiichi Hirano (46), manager of the Chinatrust Brothers in the Taiwanese professional baseball team, visited the Orix' fall training camp, where he is also a former player. Hirano requested the team, and four Chinatrust Brothers pitcher and one coach participated in training from the first day of training camp until the final day, the 20th. Hirano also rekindled old friendships with former teammates, including Manager Kishida, and said with a smile, "I learned a lot and was inspired a lot." During his playing days, Hirano was a master at second base, winning two Golden Glove Awards. Ota, who received advice on double play moves at second base, expressed his gratitude, saying, "It will be a positive experience for me."
