Kotaro Kubayashi is proud of his strong shoulders, and his strength is “catch”
The world has begun to see his “bright shoulder.” Infielder Kotaro Kurebayashi (Orix) of the Japan national soccer team “Samurai Japan” showed his strong shoulders in the Group B match against the Dominican Republic at the “Ragzas Presents 3rd WBSC Premier 12” held on the 18th.
In the 5th inning, with a 3-run lead, the first batter hit the ball and it flew to Niyuuma. He did his best to catch a ball that looked like it was going to go through the center field, and then he made a dart-like throw from the spot and got out. His awesome skill immediately caught the attention of the entire stadium.
People tend to pay attention to sharp throws, but Eishin Bonma, the running backs and defensive backs coach who has coached Orix so far this season, said, “I think my main ‘attractive’ strength. ”
In fact, Kurabayashi again shows his physical strength by catching Miyuma’s battle ball with a single back, and Niyuma’s battle ball by spinning around and throwing it. Coach Bon said, “I think he has all the elements to be confident in, thinking he has the physical strength to both catch and throw.”
The 187cm tall, 94kg body he built was built by himself. He usually eats his fill of a bowl of yakiniku or ramen right before the match starts before entering the final battle. “If I don’t eat, I’ll be hungry after the fifth hour…” the 22-year-old says with a wistful, painful smile.
“One day, I want to be a shortstop representing Japan. Isn’t that cool?”
Orix’s “niconic” pitcher, Daiya Miyagi, will be present from this tournament. I was grateful to Miyagi during the 5th WBC last spring. Having had the opportunity to “secretly” learn about pitcher Yu Darvish’s “air defense” within 18.44 meters and the stretching techniques for Yakult’s infielder Munetaka Murakami, it was Kurabayashi’s turn to bring home a “souvenir”.
“There are many things I don’t know. When someone gives me instructions, I try to listen carefully to what they have to say. I just live my life straight (lol). I working hard at baseball, but I don’t worry about other things.” I live without him.”
I left my carry-on case at home when I went out on a trip, only to realize it after getting on the Shinkansen. He didn’t care if the car he went out to eat had a flat bottom, but when he got there, he took one of the steaks and asked with a smile, “Oh, would you like another man?” Later, after returning home safely, I discovered that a nail had been stuck in the tire, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
Kurabayashi has a “strong heart,” but when he was selected for this tournament, he said, “With results like this… I’ve been selected, so I’ll do my best! I’m good at short. – term battles, or rather, I like them.”
In the opening round, he played in 4 games and had a batting average of .313, showing his batting power with 5 hits and 4 RBI in 16 at bats. Keep your feet on the ground and move forward. “One day, I want to be a shortstop representing Japan. Isn’t that cool?” When I was 18 years old, I was holding a Shizuoka specialty, “eel pie,” which I was about to give to Adam Jones. I remember being too nervous to give it away, so I quietly put the cardboard back in the closet of the team bedroom. But, on the field, he proudly sticks out his chest. The words said by a boy who didn’t know left or right are turning into a real dream.
