スポーツ｜新庄監督が提案、走塁改善策 / Sports | Manager Shinjo proposes improvements for base running

Summary

Nippon Ham Fighters’ manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo has proposed improvements for baserunning from second to home to all 12 teams.

Specifically, he suggested that when rounding third base, players should run on the inside rather than veering outward. The goal is to eliminate unnecessary movements while putting pressure on the opposing defense. The manager expressed his hope that this proposal would be adopted not only by his own team but also by other teams.

Log: What do you think about the base running improvement plan proposed by Manager Shinjo?
Chako: Wow, that’s amazing! It’s going to make it so much easier to run from second base to home plate!
Log: Exactly! If we can reduce unnecessary movements, it could also impact the opposing team’s defense.
Chako: But how do you run on the inside?
Navi: When running the bases, it’s important for runners to be aware of the white line and adjust their footwork to put pressure on the left fielder.
Chako: I see! That’s how you make the left fielder nervous!

Admin’s Note

Manager Shinjo’s proposal could not only improve the efficiency of base running but also impact the overall strategy of the team. By putting pressure on the opposing defense, it might change the course of the game. Furthermore, if other teams adopt similar ideas, it could lead to an overall increase in the level of the league. I’m very excited to see how this strategy will be implemented in upcoming games.
