Professional baseball Chunichi Okinawa camp is the 3rd day of the 2nd cour.
Infielder Mikiya Tanaka, a 6th-ranked rookie in the draft, hit two hits in an actual batting practice to appeal to the leaders.
During the off-season, Chunichi traded Toshiki Abe, who played 133 games last season, mainly as a second player, and Yota Kyoda, who played over 100 games as a shortstop for five years in a row, so these two positions were traded. No players have been confirmed to be regulars.
Three rookies registered as infielders participated in the 1st Army camp in Chatan Town, Okinawa Prefecture. We are highly rated by our leaders.
And in the actual batting practice held on the 9th, Tanaka caught a breaking ball and hit in front of the center in both of his two at-bats, and he also appealed his batting.
Tanaka was enthusiastic, saying, "I think I hit it well, and it flew to a good place. You can't win the competition unless you leave a good result in the actual game. One day at a time is the game."
Ryunosuke Yamaasa, the only rookie who graduated from high school and participated in the 1st army camp, was the fourth-ranked catcher in the draft, and hit a hit in the same batting practice. .
Yamaasa said, "I'm conscious of swinging the bat from the first pitch. I'm experiencing the first army camp, so I want to gain something and move on to the next step. I want to feel the growth after the camp is over. I want to make something with a deep content," he said.
There was also a real-life batting practice at the 2nd Army camp in Yomitan Village, where pitcher Reia Nakachi, who was drafted number one, played against seven batters.
