Khojaminasov Goes 5-6 Against Tohoku Rakuten Wednesday, July 21st, 2021 "Ever since I picked up my first bat my coaches were always saying to keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing... just make contact and ya never know what'll happen," Tokyo Yakult's Bakhtiar Khojaminasov told reporters after the game.
