Runner Shuto throws a breaking ball, but his strong shoulders and ball control are in a different dimension
■ Hanshin 4-1 Softbank (16th Koshien)
Fans pay attention to the “ultra-precision bazooka” displayed by Hanshin’s catcher Ryutaro Umeno. Comments collected on the throw to second base, which combines strength and control, such as “I’m sick”, “Pinpoint throw only here”, “Everything is too perfect”, and “Seriously, it permanently saved version”.
In the match against Softbank held in Koshien on the 16th, Shuto started the race with two kills in the 6th inning, which was tied 1-1. Umeno went into a throwing position and grabbed a breaking ball, and threw it straight to the glove of shortstop Kinami who went into second base. Shuto returns to the bench with an unconvincing expression on his face.
When “DAZN”, which distributed the game, released this scene on the official Twitter, fans were surprised to say, “I stabbed that Shuto.” The very strong shoulder that stopped Idaten, who surprised the world at the World Baseball Classic in March, was praised.
