The joint voluntary training for new players of professional baseball Seibu began on the 8th, and pitcher Chiichiro Sumita, who is expected to be the first in the draft as an immediate force, said, "I want to make a joint practice for newcomers who can sharpen their skills."
The joint voluntary training of Seibu's new players began on the 8th at the 2nd army stadium in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, and pitcher Sumita, who was nominated as the 1st place from the 4 teams, which was the most at the draft meeting last year, and joined from Nishinippon Institute of Technology. All 10 people participated.
While the leaders such as Hatsuhiko Tsuji visited the site, the athletes started practicing by running and stretching.
Then, left-handed pitcher Sumita played catch with pitcher Junsuke Sato, who also joined the team from Tsukuba University on the left pitcher, and gradually widened the distance to throw strong balls.
Pitcher Sumita said, "I've spent the year-end and New Year holidays so that I can be thrown firmly since January. I have to be aware that I will be a member of Seibu, and I want to win the championship and play an active part, so everyone can work hard together. I want to practice. "
Director Tsuji, who inspected, said, "I felt wonderful when I saw the catch balls of pitchers Sumita and Sato, and I hope they can compete and grow synergistically. I cherish each day and regret it. I want them to play an active role in the professional world for as long as a year so that they will not remain. "
