On the 5th, the first course of the professional baseball DeNA camp held in Ginowan City, Okinawa Prefecture ended. Even if I entered the players of the team, I was able to blend in."

Matsuo, who was drafted 1st, is a catcher who has both offense and defense, and was the only rookie who graduated from high school to be selected as a member of the 1st army camp.



On the 5th, the last day of the first course, in the morning, a total of 97 balls were received from three pitchers. There was also a scene where he said, "The ball is spinning in the shoot."



In the practice that followed, Matsuo performed training to broaden his horizons by catching the ball thrown by the coach while watching the number of fingers on the staff's hand in the batter's box. However, he gradually got used to it, and at the end he was catching the ball and correcting the number of fingers.



Matsuo said, "Every day was fulfilling in the first course. Batting has a lot of missed shots, so I'm trying to improve my form while reducing those. As for defense, it's the same with catching balls, but if you don't train your basics, you'll develop. I can't do it, so I want to do it properly," he said.



Manager Miura said, ``I think he was nervous because it was his first camp, but he was confident, and even though he was a professional player, he blended in.''
