Rakuten Eagles catcher Tsuyoshi Ishihara held a public training session in Okinawa Prefecture on the 11th.
Last season, he struggled with a batting average of .094, no Home Run, and 3 RBI in 31 games. Ishihara, who has been practicing with Asamura and others during his voluntary training, said, "I can't play unless I hit. I want to do everything I can, including connecting and bunting."
The competition catcher is intensifying. Ota, Horiuchi and others have made their presence felt, and Ito Hikaru has also joined as a free agent. YG's Yasuda, known for his powerful hitting, is also looking for an opportunity. Among the catcher with different strengths, Ishihara intends to make a name for himself as a "catcher can win." "I think catcher can win is a good catcher. For example, if we use Ishihara, we can win. The results will come after the season is over, so I want to compete with the goal of winning in mind," he said, exuding his determination.
