Pitcher Hiroto Takahashi, who joined Chunichi from Aichi Chukyo University Chukyo High School in the first draft, also started the camp with the 2nd army and took a full-scale step as a professional.
Pitcher Takahashi started from the campsite of the 2nd army, Yomitan Village, Okinawa Prefecture, and received a souvenir on behalf of the players at the local welcome ceremony.
And with senior players who started the 2nd army, such as Kosuke Fukudome, 43 years old, who returned to Chunichi for the first time in 14 years, and Yohei Oshima, who won the title with the most hits for the second consecutive year. Together, I was practicing dashing and other activities while feeling nervous.
Pitcher Takahashi, who has a maximum speed of 154 kg, did not practice pitching with a bullpen on the 1st, and finished the first day with a menu centered on defensive practice such as other rookie pitchers and knocks.
Pitcher Takahashi said, "I was very nervous when I put my sleeves on my uniform, but as I practiced, I gradually became more nervous. At the camp, I was building my body to avoid injury. I want to get results as soon as possible and make a strong appeal. "
