Professional baseball Yuki Hanshin Nishiki voluntarily practicing "Whenever the opening may start" April 20, 17:37
On the 20th, pitcher Yuki Nishi, who will serve as the opening pitcher for professional baseball in Hanshin, said, "I would like to prepare to be ready for the opening," after practicing independently at the Koshien Stadium.
Hanshin had been suspended for about three weeks because three athletes were infected with the new coronavirus, but from the 15th of this month, they resumed self-paced training at two stadiums.
On the 20th, West Pitcher, who is scheduled to act as the opening pitcher, practiced for about two hours from 9 am at an indoor practice area at Koshien Stadium.
Nishi pitcher continued to train by running in the park early in the morning even during the rest period, so he was showing sharp movements on the 20th with catchball and dash.
After practicing, Nishi pitcher, who was interviewed by the video conference system, commented that one month had passed since the originally scheduled opening day, "It's not just me but everyone is in the same situation. I wanted to go, "he said calmly.
After that, he said, "I have a responsibility to be the starting pitcher, so I would like to make preparations so that I can start the game at any time. I can't see the future, but I would like to practice this one day a day, thinking positively about this situation." I talked about my enthusiasm.
