Joint voluntary training for new players from professional baseball and Softbank has begun, and Ryosuke Otsu, the second-place draft pitcher, said, "I want to do my best so that I can pitch in the first team as soon as possible."
Joint voluntary training for SoftBank's new players began on the 8th at a farm facility in Chikugo City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
In the practice, 19 people, including training players, did not participate in the draft 1st place player, who was confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus.
The players worked on basic training such as catch ball and defensive practice.
Pitcher Otsu from Shime Town, Fukuoka Prefecture, who joined the team in 2nd place in the draft from Nippon Steel Kashima, yelled loudly during the warm-up, and carefully threw the ball 50 meters away to check his form.
Pitcher Otsu said, "I think he is expected to be an immediate force, so I want him to build up his body and do his best so that he can pitch in the first army as soon as possible."
