阿部（中央）の手締めで秋季キャンプを打ち上げたオリックスナイン（カメラ・長田　亨）

　オリックスは２０日、６日から高知のＩＮＯＵＥ・東部スポーツパーク野球場で行っていた秋季キャンプを打ち上げた。この日は午前のみの練習で投手、野手ともに軽めのメニュー。投手主将を務め、今秋からサイド気味の新フォームに取り組んでいる阿部は「２月からまた競争が始まります。ここから２か月ちょっと、しっかりと自覚を持って準備して、来季はリーグ優勝、日本一を目指して頑張っていきましょう」と手締めのあいさつで訴えかけた。

Coach Kishida Mamoru, who is in his second year in charge and who raised the team from fifth place last year to third place, commented, “I think it was a good time. Everyone put in a fair amount of practice,” and expressed his expectations for high-level competition in each position, saying, “It goes without saying that they will arrive in top condition for February 1st. I think everyone understands that they need to improve their level and make the most of these two months.”
