Director of Bloom’s organization “The technology that transmits energy from the bat to the ball is unique”
Outfielder Masanao Yoshida, who signed a five-year contract with the Red Sox, held a press conference at Fenway Park on the 15th (16th time in Japan). The squad number is decided as “7”. The press conference was attended by Haim Bloom’s Chief Organizing Officer and Scott Boras, a talent agent. He revealed the Japanese batsman’s rating points and reason for the quick finish from the posted notice.
Quick fix on the first day of lifting the trading ban. It was also the first time executives from Yoshida and the Red Sox met. “We agreed with Haim about Masa’s potential and what he can do,” said Boras. Speaking on the reason for the upfront settlement, Mr Bloom also said: “We haven’t been able to have the scheduled interview on ZOOM yet, but I felt like I already knew him well. When the trading ban was lifted, we finished evaluating the players. We were ready for it” he said with a smile.
It is a five-year, $90 million (about 12,390 million yen) contract on a grand scale, with a transfer fee of $15,375,000 (about 2,117 million yen) to Orix. For the Red Sox it will be an “investment” of 14.5 billion yen. Mr Bloom said: “I have the basics of hitting. Swing, how to see the ball. This is an element that works regardless of the environment. This year I have more power in my hitting and have improved my hitting ability both of power than contact. He showed, “he seems confident of success.
Mr Bloom said: ‘I’m going to get the left wing to defend’, about how to use it. Local media stressed that he will be the first hitter, but said, “I have the technology to hit first, but what kind of team composition will it be? Identifying the frontcourt and contact power are important regardless of the batting order.” But it’s especially important when you reach the top ranks” and were expected to play an active role in the top batting lineup.
