Softbank draft No. 1 Tomoya Inoue infielder stretched his back to the inspection of the president of the royal team on the 24th. The instruction before the practice was, “I’m glad I met him because he was like an extension of the god of baseball, and each word had a weight.”

In batting practice, he showed over six fences, but humbly said, “I still have more.” The chairman of the royal baseball team expected “Future No. 4” and renewed his feelings, saying, “I’m expecting it, and I have to practice more than anyone else. It’s important how I can drive myself.”
