連日続く工藤新監督のキャンプ熱血指導　目の前のグローブを叩かせる練習も【ドラゴンズ】

Summary

On the third day of the Dragons’ autumn camp, Manager Kudo stayed closely involved as players worked through morning conditioning. The session included repeated 70-meter sprints to build basic fitness.

During batting practice, Kudo gave last year’s third-round draft pick an unusual drill: hit a glove positioned in front of him. The exercise emphasized keeping his eyes on the pitcher and tracking the ball through contact—habits intended to help avoid injuries from hard-hit line drives and improve control within the strike zone.

Kudo also watched Noda’s fielding work. He stopped to explain that the shortstop’s positioning was wrong because it could make him cross paths with the runner, and urged players to point out concerns immediately. Communication, he stressed, should not be neglected.

The coaching instruction concluded after three days. The departing instructor said he hoped the players would keep working through the offseason and return to spring camp having grown, while Kudo’s ongoing hands-on guidance remained a central feature of camp.
