The instructional scene on hitting  The hesitation and conflict of the manager, Sugihara  100%. In the summer of 2009, when this team was launched, the first thing the students discussed and decided on was the theme for the team. We did not have a team of students with high individual abilities like the previous year’s team. Therefore, we will try to embody 100% of what we can do. We will make sure to do this not only in games but also in practice and in our individual time with baseball. By bringing together all of the students, they form a team and make it a strong one. Immediately after losing in the third round of the spring tournament, where the seeding for the summer tournament was decided, Sugihara asked the students how they wanted to proceed in the days leading up to the summer tournament. If I have to run as fast as I can, I will run without letting up until the last step. If you are going to swing a bat, swing with all you got until the last swing. Give meaning to each and every action. Consistency is not as easy as it seems. No one can do it for you. Fighting with one’s self is hard for everyone. But we don’t want to end up regretting it later. Sugihara, too, continues to search for the best way to help the team mature in the face of the many restrictions imposed by the Corona disaster. He says he has been reducing his approach to third-year students since spring but has been unable to get good feedback.
