Professional baseball Lotte junior high school students undergoing long-term treatment hold “joining press conference”. Yusei Yamazaki will participate in team practices once or twice a month this season, and plans to throw the ceremonial first pitch.
Mr. Yamazaki expressed his enthusiasm, saying, ''I'm looking forward to meeting the players and want to talk to all of them. I want to become a player who can be an unsung hero.'' Lotte has been conducting a project through an NPO that welcomes children undergoing long term treatment as part of the team to support them.
