One day while with Samurai Japan during the World Baseball Classic, Yoshinobu Yamamoto went into the outfield for a long toss session.?

When he arrived at his desired spot, he looked down and carefully adjusted the position of his feet. When that was done, Yamamoto got in his set position to throw, standing with his glove in front of his face at eye level. He held the pose for several seconds, making only slight movements, until, finally, he tossed the ball across the field to his partner.?

Even in this simple drill, there was no wasted motion. Yamamoto¡¯s every move, no matter how slight, was deliberate and with the precision of a surgeon.?
