1. I miss batting cages. I never see them anymore here in Seoul. Sweet swinging, by the way.

2. White Sox trying to sign her as we speak

3. My Tigers could use a lefty bat. She wanna DH?

4. I’ve seen enough, Marin to the dodgers /j

5. Dodgers just found the replacement for Conforto, and or Pages.

   edit:
   Actually nm she’s a lefty catcher so probably ends up on the Yankees. I’ll give her bonus points for wearing yankee shorts tho!

6. 1000 dollars says she’ll hit better than Rockies at Coors Field

7. Another plane to track to Toronto

8. And a lefty too? Damn.

9. She probably gets paid a lot, so if you want that lefty power bat idol, get yer checkbooks out to lure her.

10. Would viewership in mlb climb if uniforms included mini skirts? If Manfred wasn’t a coward he’d look into this

11. I wish we have batting cages here.

12. I wish batting cages at night were more of a thing, getting some swings in the cage at Spo Cha at 11 pm is one of my favorite past times

13. The Japanese seem to really emphasize keeping your hands and weight back and then exploding through the ball at the right moment.

14. She’s gonna be the face of chiba lotte marines for sure

15. I’m surprised there aren’t annual idol baseball exhibitions.

16. Pitching machine swing. Works great when you’re 8, not so much against any velocity. Work with her on keeping her hands inside the line and keeping shoulders level. Balance is key.

17. Can she pitch?

18. Dodgers, when?

19. Goddam bro

20. Sign her Oli!!

21. Why does the bat look like it has a weight at the end of it? looks like it makes the barrel a lot bigger

22. Least talented Japanese Idol

23. She has that Shohei batting stance

24. Being 4’9″ is likely an advantage right?

    Aaron Judge vs Jose Altuve strike zones

25. Anime Altuve

26. Dead pull hitter

27. Me in Yakuza

28. Google returned another [video](https://youtu.be/QHsTAR2QzCw?si=lI-koW5OmbAzifqK) (that is incomprehensible to me) but she’s playing baseball and she’s kinda legit.

    Trigger warning: She’s wearing Yankees gear

29. He knows all about dingers

30. I’ve been following her on IG for at least 2 years now. This girl is something else.

31. Excellent bat to ball skills. Team her up with Mo’Ne!

32. Marin-chan looks like she’d be a doubles machine. Now we gotta see if she has wheels.

33. George Costanza taught us that batting is just a simple matter of physics.

34. i cant explain why but her batting lefty makes it hotter

35. Well if there was one chick who would know you were pulling your hips out early it’d be Marin.

36. I think that’s the batting cage I found when I went to Japan.
