Tigers coaching team

Discussion in the Tiger Tails forum
Tigers coaching team
Tigers have announced their finalised coaching lineup for the first team. No place for Akahoshi (health issues) or Yano (still too green) but what one notices is the comparative youth of the team. Apart from the new head coach and Yamaguchi pitching coach all 50 or under. The lineup is as follows:

Kantoku: Wada (86)
Head Coach: Arita (77)
Pitching Coach: Yabu (80)
Pitching Coach: Yamaguchi (85)
Batting Coach: Kataoka (88)
Battling Coach: Takahashi (75)
Base running: Yamawaki (89)
Base running: Kuji (92)
Base running: Sekikawa (78)
Battery: Yoshida (81)
Training; Itoh (74)

It remains to be seen how Yabu will do but it is nice to see the end of Kubo as pitching coach. Likewise, Mitsunobu Takahashi as batting coach should be interesting as well.
About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
