Sakota

Sakota serves as the bullpen coach for the Jingu Spiders, overseeing the team's relief pitching unit, including Natsnosuke Handa. Despite his bearded, rough-around-the-edges appearance that might seem intimidating at first glance, he is in fact a meticulous and composed mentor who commands the deep trust of his pitchers. What sets Sakota apart is his extraordinary perceptiveness — he was quick to identify Handa's unusual tendency to adjust his pitching performance based on the opposing batter's salary level, and has since provided him with critical guidance from within the bullpen.
