The talent to "swing fully". No need to worry about settling down on a new record?

"Monday is also on Patere" was launched on the official Pacific League TV YouTube channel to entertain people on Mondays when there are no baseball broadcasts. On May 5th, Ginji and Yuji Kaneko looked back on the week, including the game that day.

Tohoku Rakuten had suffered four straight losses since April 29th. On the 4th, their batting line exploded with 20 hit and 14 runs, and they stopped the losing streak. However, what is worrisome is that Hideto Asamura The player's condition. He has been steadily hit since the start of the season, and is just nine hits away from the milestone of 2,000 hit, but as of the 5th, the day of the release, he has been hit in six games.

Those around him may think that he is under a lot of pressure. However, Ginji doesn't seem worried, saying, "I can get nine hit in no time." "He hasn't had any hits, but we do the same thing. He comes in every morning and practices batting, then moves on to full practice. What's great about Asamura is that he doesn't change his routine no matter what," he said, talking about Asamura's core strength.

What is the appeal of Asamura's batting? Ginji says, "After all, it's the fact that he can swing fully." "There aren't many people who can swing fully. It's a skill to go up to the plate with the intention of swinging fully every time you bat. In addition, I have the impression that he's strong when it comes to opportunities," he said, praising Asamura, who has been active at the forefront for many years.

He's just nine home runs away from the big record. With three home games starting on the 13th, and five more home games scheduled the following week, attention will be focused on whether he achieves this feat at home. Finally, Ginji gave him some encouragement, saying, "Just like always, don't change anything and hit with your usual full swing. If you hit the ball well, it will lead to results. Don't think too much, just aim for the back screen."
