cosmo365 Eastern League Giants 8-2 Rakuten (27th, Edogawa) Giants catcher Shinnosuke Yamase made his presence felt as a substitute with multiple hits and excellent guidance for four pitchers .
He entered the game as a substitute defensive player in the sixth inning. With the score at 3-2 in the sixth inning, with two outs and a runner on first, he singled to left field, expanding the team’s chances. With the score at 6-2 and no outs in the eighth inning, he singled to center field, and Yuasa scored on a two-run home run. This season, he has been focusing on contact in his batting. “When I try to hit long balls, I fall apart. The essence of a batter is to catch the ball. That’s my goal this year, so I think I’ll continue with that.” He worked hard without changing his approach, and his batting average rose to .333. On defense, he also provided excellent guidance, leading four pitchers – Takahashi, Baba, Imamura, and Takanashi – to one scoreless inning each . There is a deep pool of catchers, and it has been difficult for him to get promoted to the first team, but “all I can do is keep producing results and train and practice to become the player I envision myself to be. I want to get better at baseball every day, and not lose to myself, day by day.” He has a strong conviction and continues to work hard (cosmo365)
