Rakuten draft first place greetings to Kobukada “Foot as a weapon” October 24, 14:18
Osaka Gas Daisho Ofukada, who was nominated by Rakuten at the 1st place in the professional baseball drafting meeting, received a nomination from the team and said, “I want to run faster with my arms as a weapon”.
Ofukada was named an infielder with a superb batting and 50 meters 5 seconds 9 speed, and was named first by Rakuten at the draft meeting on the 17th of this month.
On the 24th, the director of the Osaka Gas Baseball Club in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, visited Rakuten's director Shin Miki. I repeated the simulation to see if I could do it.
After this, Ofukada was given an admission ticket for a draft meeting signed by Miki, and Kofuka was smiling and photographed with Director Miki.
Mr. Ofukada said, “I've been feeling a little bit after receiving the greeting. I want to play aggressively because I want to compete in the short. I want to run faster with my legs in my arms.”
Director Miki said, “Since he is a necessary player for the team, I wanted to play baseball together. I wanted Kofukada to play with speed while competing with other players.” .
