Chunichi adjusts to the opening game "I want to get good results" Director Yoda Jun 18 19:36
Professional baseball, which had been postponed due to the new coronavirus, will start on the 19th with a delay of about 3 months. Chunichi made adjustments at the Jingu Stadium, the stage of the opening game.
During the opening day of the match against Yakult on the 19th, Chunichi practiced at Jingu Stadium from around 4 pm on the 18th.
The starting pitcher, Yudai Ono, performed catchball and defensive practice with a tight look, preparing for the third major role for the first time in three years.
On the other hand, last season's 12 teams had the least number of home runs, and the lack of scoring ability was the batting line. The practice game of the month marked 17 home runs, the highest number of 12 teams.
Tsuyoshi Yoda, who was in his second year as an inaugurator, said, “I have been able to overcome the challenges of last season little by little. It may be difficult to throw a lot of innings because pitcher Ohno had few throws, but the team's representative I just want to throw it in. Because the influence of the new coronavirus is spreading, I have a strong desire to win, so I want to give a solid result."
In addition, player chairman Yota Kyoda said, "I want to thank you because I can start the game thanks to various people. I think I will be nervous in the opening game, but I want to play carefully with the first ball and one out." I was enthusiastic.
