Chunichi First catcher of Red and White Catcher Gunji's presence in offense and defense February 4 19:48
Professional baseball team, Chunichi, played for the first time in this camp at Red and White, and Yuya Gunji, a catcher from Keio University who was the only rookie to participate, showed his presence in the offense and defense.
The big challenge for China and Japan was that there was no key catcher, and four catchers took part in the match against Red and White on the 4th.
One of them is Gunji, the 4th draft of Keio University, who has a track record of King Mikami at Tokyo Roku University.
Gunji first hit the in-course ball strongly in the first at-bat, and suddenly hit the left to show off his batting.
On the other hand, the defense, which continues to practice with coaches every day, showed a strong presence in offense and defense, such as stopping a difficult one-bound ball and preventing the opponent from stealing the base.
Gunji said, "I was relieved to see the first hit. I want to grow up face-to-face with each task." Coach Go Yoda was hoping that "I was very proud of my first match. I want you to remain competitive."
