[February 1, 2026 ~ Gushikawa Camp Latest Information]Masahiro Tateishi, the Hanshin Tigers’ No. 1 drafted rookie, is making Tigers all over the country go wild with just a few seconds of practice footage! While the menu continues to be adjusted due to a muscle tear in his right leg, he showed the same form he showed while batting at the Gushikawa camp. A bat held high in the air, a sharp uppercut trajectory, and a dynamic follow-through that cuts through the sky… His striking resemblance to Dodgers’ Shohei Otani has been a hot topic on social media, with comments such as “He really looks like Otani” and “That’s just Otani on the right.” What is the secret behind his swing, which is said to be “Masanao Yoshida-like”? What is the true ability of this kid who won the triple crown with a batting average of .500 and 5 home runs during his college days, competing with three teams? We will thoroughly dig into the overwhelming potential of No. 9, who can turn even the adversity of an injury into a sense of anticipation. Manager Fujikawa also declares that he will be “developed carefully”, and is a candid candidate who will carry Hanshin’s future. Let’s witness the moment of awakening together! #Hanshin Tigers #Masahiro Tateishi #Shohei Otani #Draft 1st place #Gushikawa camp #Fujikawa baseball player #Heat championship #Professional baseball #Swing #Right Otani
