◆Open game Nippon-Ham 3-2 Seibu (6th, ESCON)
Nippon-Ham Fighters infielder Kotaro Kiyomiya hit a solo home run over the right field fence off the submarine Yoza in the third inning, his first home run of the exhibition season.
He caught the high fastball and drew a beautiful parabola. Kiyomiya reflected, “It was perfect. The angle was perfect. I haven’t been able to hit the ball like that for a while, so I’m relieved.”
On the previous day, the 5th, he was hit in four At Bat. When he rewatched the video at home, he noticed that his right shoulder was too low. “I played ESCON for the first time in a while yesterday, and the camera was in the same position as last year, so it was really easy to see how much I’ve changed.” He corrected his body to turn more parallel, and regained his original hitting style.
Manager Shinjo, who does not praise Kiyomiya, said, “In the end, it was a great home run, but he had to hit it on the sign (laughs).” Kiyomiya responded with a smile, “That’s right. I want to hit it further, that’s true.”
