Seiya Suzuki has gotten his fair share of playing time for the Hiroshima Carp this season, but he's not taking that for granted. Suzuki knows success will bring him even more opportunities, so the 21-year old doesn't want to waste a single chance to show what he can do.
"First of all, I have to play well enough to get a regular position," Suzuki told The Japan Times. "I want to make sure I'm able to take advantage of opportunities when they come. Also, If I'm injured, I won't be able to take the chance, so I want to really make sure I don't get hurt."
Suzuki made his season debut on April 5, and has appeared in 23 games for Hiroshima. He's had some success, with seven multi-hit games, including a two-homer performance against the Tokyo Yakult Swallows on April 26.
