Nippon-Ham s Ryota Isobata outfielder (26) hit a series of pleasant sounds on the 25th with a bat carried on the left shoulder, a hitting technique that was based on the same left-handed hitter shunting outfielder, Softbank and Ukyo Shuto (29). He also revealed that he was taught the approach after 2 strike from Seibu and Sosuke Genda infielder (32), who were teammates in the Premier 12, and vowed to hybridize their teachings and become the absolute leadoff man for Shinjo Ham. The team, which finished the first half in first place, will start the second half of the season against Lotte (ESCON) on the 26th.

With the bat on his left shoulder, he swung it up from the bottom and the ball flew into the right field stands. Ichihata hit a series of good sounds during the batting practice, and showed a satisfied expression. “I feel good about it. pitcher ‘s speed has increased, and if I can swing well, I can feel the ball flying.” He nodded in approval at his improved batting, hitting his first home run of the season on July 20th (Rakuten Mobile).

The secret to his evolution is the lessons of two skilled hitter. The first is Softbank ‘s Shuto. Manager Shinjo has sent him batting videos on SNS as a direct message many times, and he has been conscious of the swing trajectory of the bat, placing the bat on his left shoulder and launching it from below. At the All-Star game on the 23rd and 24th, Shuto told Manager Shinjo, “Isohata-kun’s batting has improved,” and received the stamp of approval from the master. He revealed that Shuto also calls out to him during the season, saying, “During the game, he calls out to me, saying, ‘Do it more like this.’ I’m glad he cares about me, and I want to become a player who is more noticed.”

The second person is Seibu ‘s Genda. At the Premier 12 last November, he asked about his approach after two strike, when he had a tendency to hit the ball small. He was advised, “If you think about it too much, you’ll just use your hands more. Even if it’s two strike, try to think of it as no strike,” which made him realize the importance of swinging firmly even when he’s in a tight spot. He felt a sense of accomplishment, saying, “I’ve realized that’s what I was trying to say, and I’m getting better little by little.”

In the first half of the season, he played in 72 games, batting .244, stolen base 13 bases, and had triple in the league with 6. “When I get on base in the first inning, it leads to runs and win. I want to increase the number of runs I score.” One of the fastest players in baseball, he has made use of the teachings of these two men and is working his way up to become the strongest leadoff hitter.
