A rookie training session for professional baseball was held online to prevent the infection of the new coronavirus, and the rookies of the 12 teams learned their professional attitude.
The workshop was held every year with 12 rookie teams gathering together at a venue in Tokyo, but this time a lecture was given online to prevent infection with the new coronavirus.
Rookies learned about doping through computer screens and received explanations about the morals and dangers of using SNS for about four hours from early afternoon to evening at the dormitories of each team.
Then, Japanese national team coach Yoshinori Tateyama gave a lecture on his attitude as a professional baseball player. I want you to feel happy in a blessed environment and work on it. I want you to be conscious of giving fun to those who are having a hard time in Corona. Even one candidate for the Tokyo Olympics is one of them. I'm looking forward to seeing more of them. "
Pitcher Naofumi Kizawa, who joined Yakult from Keio University in the first draft, said, "I want to do my best step by step, thinking that I will play baseball as a person who can always be seen."
