Among them, Mr. Fukudome, who was active in the Chunichi, Hanshin, and major leagues and retired at the end of last season, taught me how to prepare as a professional baseball player.
Fukudome, who recorded a total of 2,450 hits in Japan and the United States, reflected on his 24-year career as an active player, saying, "No matter how good my results were, I always kept in mind that I was the worst, and I wanted to improve." It was about practicing. Don't lose sight of yourself, do it with the feeling that you're the worst."
Then, in order to be active as a professional baseball player for a long time, it is important to think about training and physical condition management on your own, and then "I will only think about baseball so as not to regret it. This will be the turning point in whether or not you can play baseball for a long time, or whether it will end in a year or two.”
Pitcher Koshiro Yoshimura, who joined Yakult in first place in the draft from Toshiba, said, "I've always said that it's important to practice responsibly on your own, so I want to be conscious of it. I want to be active in the professional world for as long as possible. I wanted to work hard year by year so that I could do it."
