The sluggishness of last year’s ‘three hitting crowns’ is not unusual.

Munetaka Murakami (23), the “monster hitter” of the Yakult Swallows, was hitless again. On the 29th, against the Hanshin Tigers held at Meijing Stadium in Tokyo, he played 4th and 3rd base and recorded no hits in 4 at-bats.

Added two strikeouts to 39. It is the overwhelming first place in both the Central League and the Pacific League. His batting average for the season fell to 10.48 (12 hits in 81 at-bats). In the last six games, he recorded 2 hits in 22 at-bats and a batting average of 9 pennies. The slugging percentage of the home run king for two consecutive years is 0.259.

Murakami was out with a grounder to second baseman and a grounder to shortstop in the second and fourth innings. In the 7th and 9th innings, he struck out two swings in a row.

The best hitter in the Nippon Professional Baseball who hit “56 home runs” last year has no home runs in 61 consecutive at-bats. It is silence after the second cannon of the season was activated in the game against Yokohama Baystars on the 11th. It is the first time that he has not hit a home run in more than 60 at bats since last October, when he hit 56 home runs in 61 at bats after 55 home runs.

The previous three at-bats were against Hanshin starting pitcher Murakami Shoki (25). Murakami was defeated in a head-to-head match against Murakami. 메이저사이트

Hanshin right-handed pitcher Murakami shone more than Yakult’s “home run king” Murakami. Hanshin Murakami completely blocked the Yakult batting line with two hits and no runs until the 8th inning. Against 27 batters, he struck out seven and gave up one walk.

He pitched in four games this season and recorded 25 consecutive scoreless innings. He has 2 wins and maintains an earned run average of ‘0’. On the 22nd, against the Chunichi Dragons, he won a shutout in 9 innings.

While Murakami, the fourth hitter, is extremely sluggish, the sluggishness of the Yakult batting line is also deepening. He had only 3 hits in the 29th game. He suffered a 0-7 loss to Youngbong. He pitched 20 consecutive scoreless innings and lost two consecutive games. The team that won 5 straight wins since the opening game fell into a 7-game losing streak. It fell to 5th out of 6 Central League teams. Murakami is at the center of the helpless lineup.

Last year, Murakami won three gold medals in batting average (3.18 li), home runs (56 home runs), and RBIs (134 RBIs). At the age of 22, he became the youngest player to win 3 batting titles in the history of Japanese professional baseball. He set the record for the most home runs by a Japanese batter in a single season, and hit home runs in 5 consecutive at bats for the first time in the world.
