At Chunichi's professional baseball camp in Chatan Town, Okinawa Prefecture, fourth-year pitcher Hiroto Takahashi, who aims to be the opening pitcher, pitched during batting practice. Due to his nervousness, he was unable to control the ball and ended up hitting Seiya Hosokawa, who was the first to bat, with the ball in the side.
The 21-year-old pitcher has been making steady progress thus far, aiming to become the opening pitchers for the first time in his fourth year.
