Orix Buffaloes Tomoya Mori catcher (30) declared on the 13th that he would strike back with a "super return to basics. He and his teammate Tongu and others opened their voluntary training on Miyakojima Island, Okinawa. He said, "It is important to play in 143 games. I'm going to stay in the first team forever." With his head shaved like a high school baseball player, he looked ahead to his first appearance in every game.
In 2013, he injured his right side and the back of his right thigh, resulting in a batting average of .250 in 50 games, with one Home Run and 14 RBI, both of which were his lowest ever. "I've had a string of injuries over the past three years," he said, and he has reevaluated how he spends his off-season, including his diet, and has set the theme for this training session as "push myself to the point where I'm willing to get injured in practice." "My lower body, buttocks, hip joints...using those areas well to play baseball is where I started." This morning, he repeated a menu of sprints and jump squats until he collapsed, giving us a glimpse into the process of his transformation into an "iron man body."
Regarding his hairstyle, he jokingly explained, "It's all about the vibe and momentum. If I did it, Tonmiya would do it too (laughs)," but he has a lot of ambition for his 13th year as a professional. In 2013, he threw down the gauntlet to Wakatsuki, a classmate who was the starting catcher in 99 games. "Currently, Waka (Wakatsuki) is probably more trustworthy. I want to draw that to me once again." With renewed determination to win the championship for the first time in three years, this key player on both offense and defense is a scary prospect.
