Nippon-Ham lost a game against Orix (Escondido F) on the 21st, 0-10. The starter, Verheugen, failed to make a game of it with 7 runs in the middle of the second inning, and the batting lineup gave up 9 hit but failed to score a run.
The CS Fuji TV One “Pro baseball News” broadcast on the same day focused base running on Reyes in the bottom of the second inning. With no outs and two outs, Yuki Nomura hit a ball to left, but Reyes, who was at second base runner, could not get started and could not advance to third base.
Regarding this scene, Hiraishi Yosuke, who appeared on the program, commented, “It was a difficult base running, but I understand the desire to go all out when you’re behind by eight runs, but if you’ve scored two or three runs by the fifth inning or so, it becomes unclear.He got through to the gap between third base and shortstop, and when you consider the position of short stop and various other things up to that point, and look at the position of the hit ball, well, this is safe base running, but you still want to get to third base.”
MC Nomura Hiroki said, “Watching the video, there’s no sign of him going for it at all…” and Hiraishi reflected, “The moment he hit it, he went back… But he looked up at the sky and said, ‘I messed up,’ so I think he was regretting it, but it was a painful base running.”
