Participation in professional baseball Hanshin Fujinami pitcher training Recovery from new corona infection May 19 18:03

Professional baseball player Hanshin Shintaro Fujinami, who had been practicing independently after being discharged from the hospital after being infected with the new coronavirus, participated in the practice of the pitchers who started on the 19th. I want to improve my condition. "

In late March, pitcher Fujinami found out that he was infected with the new coronavirus for the first time in the professional baseball world, and after leaving the hospital, he practiced independently at the stadium of the 2nd army.

From the 19th, Hanshin restarted the practice at Koshien Stadium on a pitcher basis in the morning and fielders in the afternoon, and pitcher Fujinami also participated in the morning practice.

Mr. Fujinami pitched 65 balls with a bullpen, including a changing ball, after performing a catch ball while the leaders such as Director Yano Daidai watched.

Fujinami, who was a candidate for the opening rotation until late March when infected with the new coronavirus, will continue to appeal for the season's opening, which is expected to be the shortest in the middle of next month.

Fujinami said, “I was happy to be able to practice wearing a uniform after a long time, so I was happy to be able to play baseball. I think the bullpen wasn't bad and the ball itself was running. I was in perfect physical condition. I also want to practice the technical part well. I think that it will be about one month left until the opening, so I want to improve the condition. "
