Seibu Lions Shuta Tonosaki On February 31, the player chairman (33) expressed his enthusiasm for the spring training camp that starts on February 1, saying, "I want to take pride and go for a regular spot.
Last season, after switching to third baseman, he played in 115 games with a batting average of .234. He struggled on both offense and defense, and from the middle of the season onwards he mainly played in outfield.
When he renewed his contract in December last year, he declared, "If it were my own wish, I'd like to play second baseman" and that feeling remains unchanged. With the addition of Ishii, who played second second baseman for Nippon-Ham last season, competition is expected to intensify, but he vowed, "I want to give it my all. I played third base last year and felt frustrated. I want to go back to second baseman and take pride in becoming a regular."
