Baseball representative from Japan Inaba manager Nippon Ham Camp inspection Okinawa Nago Feb 3 13:30
Atsushi Inaba, the Japanese national baseball team aiming to win a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, visited a professional baseball / Nippon Ham camp in Nago City, Okinawa Prefecture.
Coach Inaba, the Japanese national team, has indicated that he will decide on 24 Japanese national team members for the Tokyo Olympics by early June, and has begun inspecting the camp of 12 professional baseball teams on the 3rd.
The first place I visited was the Nippon-Ham camp in Nago City, where I greeted Director Hideki Kuriyama and listened to the situation of the team for about 10 minutes.
Following this, he was selected as a national team in the international match "Premier 12" held in November last year as a preparatory game for the Tokyo Olympics, Kensuke Kondo, who was a Japanese national team member, and a strengthening match with Mexico last March. Nippon Ham's captain, Haruki Nishikawa, was checking the practice of running.
Inaba, who finished the inspection, said, "Kuriyama told me that I would do my best so that I could make as many representatives as possible. Kondo and Nishikawa both practiced vigorously, and I would like them to make adjustments in the future. "
The Japanese baseball team will be playing the first game of the Tokyo Olympics on July 29 at the prefectural Azuma Stadium in Fukushima City.
