A "Fresh All-Star Game" was held in Matsuyama City by young professional baseball players, which was canceled last year due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
Young players with great potential participated in the "Fresh All-Star Game", which was held for the first time in two years.
In All Western, starting pitcher Junya Nishi, the second year of the Hanshin Tigers, pitched twice and took four strikeouts to keep it perfect.
In All Eastern, Yakult's rookie Souma Uchiyama caught the straight that he was aiming for in the third inning and hit the first solo home run.
Also, in the third year of Nippon-Ham, Chusei Mannami of Wright put out a runner who aimed for third base in the 8th inning with a good return ball.
The match was won by All Eastern 3 to 1.
Yakult's Uchiyama, who was selected as the MVP = best player, said, "I'm glad I was able to swing and reach the stand. I really enjoyed playing baseball. I want to do my best to contribute to the team in the second half." I did.
