Gosuke Katoh’s “Looking at this smile” First hit in the 10th year of hardship … “What a wonderful” | Full-Count

Doubled in the second at bat four times … Congratulations on the actual situation “First major hit over many years!”

■ R Sox 7-1 Blue Jays (28th Japan time, Toronto)

Blue Jays’ Gosuke Katoh infielder finally reached the moment of longing on the 27th (28th Japan time) in the 10th year of the US challenge. In the Red Sox game at the base, he participated in the starting lineup for two consecutive games with “8th, 2nd base”. He hit a double in the second at-bat in the 4th inning, which was his first major hit, and raised his hands to rejoice. He deeply expressed his deep emotions about the local situation, saying, “It will be a moment I will never forget.”

In the second at-bat, which was greeted with two deaths in the fourth inning, when the second cut ball was caught, the hit ball was two in the middle left. He slipped loosely into second base and he raised his hands towards the bench and was delighted. The Blue Jays broadcaster “Sports Net” commentary Dan Schulman congratulated “Doubles! Good! First major hit over the years!” “He’s a very fun guy around. He looks like a bright guy. He’s the first major hit. Look at this smile,” commented Pat Tabler.

One hit that finally arrived. Mr. Schulman recalls his struggling days, saying, “What a wonderful thing. 27 years old. I spent eight years as a minor before I enjoyed the majors. He was his first hit.” After that, Guerrero Jr. told the scene that he was blessed with a hug, “I always have a nice atmosphere and always smile. Everyone is happy.”

Although he entered the opening roster this season, he was demoted to a minor position the day after his debut match. He just re-promoted him in just four days and recorded his first stolen base the day before on the 26th (27th). On this day, he was replaced by a pinch hitter in seven at-bats. He had one hit in two at bats and a batting average of .200.
