Question from readers:
Regarding the Hanshin Tigers’ shortstop, do you think Obata will secure a regular position?
Hoping for Obata’s Regular Position
Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about Obata from the Hanshin Tigers. He’s young and shows great potential. I really want to see him earn a regular spot and shine on the field. There’s something special about watching games
on TV with my son, cheering for Obata and saying, “Dad is rooting for Obata, so you should cheer for him too!” Those moments are truly enjoyable. However, Kinami is also an outstanding player. Watching him play gives me a sense of stability and reassurance. Given his popularity, it seems like it won’t be easy for Obata to secure a regular position. As a fan of Kinami, I definitely can’t miss out on his performances either.
Obata’s Build and the Challenges of the Season
Obata does have a slightly skinny impression, which raises my concern about his stamina to endure a long season. I personally remember a time when I tried hard to gain weight, so I understand that struggle. I love eating, but sometimes it’s tough to put on weight. If Obata can eat well and build a stronger body, I believe he can perform throughout the season. I recall when I was young, my parents always told me to “eat properly!” Now, I find myself telling the same thing to my own children. Eating well is indeed important.
Support from Everyone is Powerful
As the upcoming season unfolds, I really hope for Obata to do well and I want to support him. What do you all think? If you have any memories or stories about Obata or Kinami that you’d like to share, please let me know in the comments! Let’s cheer together and enjoy the Hanshin Tigers’ success.
