    • 2021 September 4, “Yakyū ‘tsumaru’ to wa? [What is ‘tsumaru’ in baseball?]”, in Baseball Future‎:
      まず圧(あっ)倒(とう)的(てき)に詰(つ)まる原(げん)因(いん)となりやすいのは、タイミングが取(と)れていない場(ば)合(あい)です。タイミングを早(はや)めにとってしまうと、空(から)振(ぶ)りやバットの先(せん)端(たん)に当(あ)たってしまいます。逆(ぎゃく)にタイミングが遅(おく)れてしまうとバットのヘッドが出(で)てくるのも遅(おく)れ、詰(つ)まりやすくなってしまいます。
      Mazu attōteki ni tsumaru gen'in to nari yasui no wa, taimingu ga toreteinai bāi desu. Taimingu o hayame ni totte shimau to, karaburi ya batto no sentan ni atatte shimaimasu. Gyaku ni taimingu ga okurete shimau to batto no heddo ga dete kuru no mo okure, tsumari yasukunatte shimaimasu.
      The most likely cause of tsumaru is that the [batter’s] timing is off. Swing too soon and you will miss the ball or hit it with the end of the bat. On the other hand, swing too late so the head of the bat doesn’t come around and you can easily experience tsumari.
