Minamino has really been taking into heart the idea that less is more. In his aging years, there's a desire to feel like to make up for the increased gap between himself and all the other new and young exciting talents in the league, that he needs some sort of big swing that'll get a home run and knock it out of the park. However there just is not anything that will get that kind of effect short of illegal substances. As much as it can be tempting with how desperate Minamino feels every season to stay at the top of his game, he's coming to accept that this is part of the change that occurs over the career and find his spots to pick and choose where to make those efforts. In this, the offseason is a time where he could easily be doing so much more but instead opts to find himself focusing on rejuvenating his body for the long season ahead.
