Tomoyuki Sugano of the Giants, Responding to the Revival Despite Taking a 100 Million Salary Cut for Third Consecutive Year

In June 2023, we reported on a sleepover and drive date with a new girlfriend of Tomoyuki Sugano, 33, the ace of the Giants, who had not been able to get into his stride until the end of the 2023 season. The woman who had been supporting him for the past year was a beautiful woman who looked like Fuka Koshiba. The following is a detailed look back based on the article we published on July 10, 2023 (ages and titles in the article are current at the time of publication).

The average price of land per tsubo is over 6 million yen, and the price of a condominium unit for sale ranges from 200 to 700 million yen. A one-box hired car pulls into this mind-bogglingly upscale residential area. The hired car stopped in front of a stately, low-rise residence. As the driver stood outside the car, the sliding door swung open and a man of imposing stature alighted.

He was Tomoyuki Sugano, 33, the ace of the Giants.

A beautiful woman with medium-length, close-cropped hair got out of the car. After bowing to the hired car, she rushed to Sugano. The two headed toward the entrance of the residence, cuddling up to each other.

 

The auto-lock was unlocked by a beautiful woman with medium-length hair.

It was the day after his first start of the 2023 season against Softbank, in which he allowed four hits and two runs over five innings to earn his first win.

Not to be outdone by manager Hara’s verbal abuse

“In his 11th season as a professional pitcher, Sugano had his sights set on the 2023 season. For the past few years, he had been plagued by repeated failures in his elbows, lower back, and lower body, and he had wounds all over his body. In the off-season, he took a group of young pitchers to Hawaii and Miyakojima Island, where the weather was warmer, for an extended period of voluntary training. He regained the speed of his fastball and the sharpness of his slider.”

He was considered to be one of the starting pitchers for the season opener, but a strained elbow during the opening game, coupled with a strained neck, caused him to drop out of the second team.

 

I asked manager Tatsunori Hara (64), who was suffering from “pitching troubles,” “He started training in December of 2022, but it will soon be June of 2023.”

He was even shot down by the press. However, Sugano over came this challenge.

He was supported by his pitching coach, Yasuo Kubo (65), who worked closely with him to check and correct technical problems. And then there was the beautiful woman who looked like Fuka Koshiba.
