Yakult Pitcher Ishikawa and Aoki Players interact with children online 5:18 on May 6th

On the 5th of Children's Day, a professional baseball / Yakult veteran Masanori Ishikawa and Nobuchika Aoki met online with the fans' children.

This event was organized by the team to cheer up children who have difficulty going out because of the new coronavirus.

A total of 10 children, including junior high school students and younger students selected by lottery, talked with pitchers Ishikawa and Aoki for 30 minutes each using an internet video conference system.

Ishikawa, who has won the most 171 victories in professional baseball, is asked a trick to take a strike, `` If you try to catch the ball with your opponent's chest, it will be easier to take a strike ''. I was giving advice.

Also, Aoki, who has hit 2365 hits in Japan and the United States, was sent an ale saying "I want to hit about 3000 hits in total", "I want to go. I want to continue playing as much as I can." I was answering.

After finishing the event, Aoki said, “I had a lot of fun talking to the children. It tends to be a negative thought, but I want the children to have a happy image when they start their lives.” I sent a message.
