Junzo Sekine dies at the baseball hall of fame Professional baseball coach at Ocean Yakult April 9 17:36
I have learned that Junzo Sekine, who served as a professional baseball coach in the Ocean, now DeNA and Yakult, and entered the Baseball Hall of Fame has died. 93 years old.
Mr. Sekine was born in Tokyo in 1950 and joined Kintetsu as a pitcher from Hosei University.
After that, he turned to a fielder and played a central role in the beating line, with his batting average of 30 minutes and 1 minute in 1962, leaving his 8th place in the league.
Until he retired in 1965, he won 65 pitchers and 1137 hitters as batters, and played all-star games in both pitchers and fielders.
After that, he worked as a coach and coached in the Ocean, the current DeNA and Yakult for six seasons, and entered the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003.
After taking off his uniform, he served as a commentary on television and radio for a long time, and became a familiar baseball fan with a gentle speech.
