The Japan National Baseball Team, which aims to win a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, submitted a list of 185 first-registered players to the JOC = Japanese Olympic Committee as representative member candidates.
Atsunori Inaba and his coaches held a staff meeting last December to list the candidates for the Olympic team members.
And on the 9th, I submitted a list of 185 primary registered athletes to the JOC.
The names of the players have not been announced, but according to the people concerned, in addition to the members who participated in the international tournament "Premier 12" in November, Masahiro Tanaka, who returned to Rakuten from the Major League Baseball Yankees, was listed. That is.
The deadline for submission of the 24 final registered players will be from the end of May to the beginning of June, but if it becomes difficult to participate due to injury, etc., you can replace them from the first registered players.
Manager Atsunori Inaba commented, "We have put all the players who may participate in the list. In the future, we will visit the official professional baseball game and hold staff meetings to decide the final 24 registered players."
