Speaking of exchange games, there will be opportunities for Pa's pitcher, who don't usually bat, to bat, so there will be many players who are proud of their batting. The sight of Orix 's pitcher team taking batting practice with their eyes shining has become a hot topic on the team's official YouTube channel every year, and 3 pitcher talked about the behind the scenes of the at-bat on the topic of "My B-grade news".
Last season, pitcher Soya had an accident in which he broke a bat borrowed from Yuma Tongu on the first pitch of batting practice, and at the same time broke his hook bone, which caused him to withdraw. "I have nothing to lose this year, so I can practice batting as much as I want," he vowed revenge.
pitcher Furutajima was one of those who was looking forward to getting to bat. However, before entering the on-deck box, Tonmiya was overrun and out, and the at-bat was an illusion. This year, will he be able to wield the bat that he is proud of, saying that he only feels like he can hit?
pitcher Takashima made his batting debut against Yokohama DeNA. "Mr. Tobuchi (Yasutaka) talked to me a lot," he said of his at-bat. According to him, it started with "Do you like batting?" and when he stood near the batter’s box line, he was told by a tobuchi player, "Be careful because the ball will come out." Takashima took that advice and took a step back pitcher but he recalls, "I was already losing there." "After that, when I hit a foul ball, he said, 'Oh my gosh,' so I thought the next pitch was going to be fastball slider. Missed struck out. I was completely beaten," he said without hesitation, causing a stir on set.
Katsuya Nomura and Mitsuo Tatsukawa are well known for their "whispering tactics", but it seems that there are not a few players who do it even in modern baseball. It seems to have been too effective a move to make Pa's pitcher, who has little batting experience, lose his composure.
