“It was very tough when there were no results.” The suffering revealed after retirement
You can see how much you have been adored by seeing your teammates crying. All Japan Women’s Baseball Championship held at Bocchan Stadium in Matsuyama City. A meritorious person who has played the role of an “icon” in the women’s ball world has taken off his active uniform. Anguish and mission called “too beautiful female baseball player”. Yu Kato, an outfielder who carried on his slender body, finished the last game with a radiant expression.[Kawamura Toradai]
“I wanted to be a cool baseball player. I don’t know if I was able to do it.”
The club team “GOOD JOB” to which he belongs lost 2-3 in the first round against Kamimura Gakuen High School (Kagoshima). After finishing the battle at the break-up tournament, he naturally looks back on his own baseball life. Passed the women’s professional baseball tryout in 2016 and joined Saitama Astraia. The title “too beautiful” given to him from his appearance was a substitute for a business card, but it also put pressure on him.
“Thankfully, I had the opportunity to appear in various media, but it was very tough when there were no results.”
At the beginning of joining the group, he was sought after at the event even though the results had not yet come out. If you couldn’t play an active role in line with your attention, there were words on SNS that you didn’t mind. There is one thing you can do while worrying about walking alone. “I was just thinking about seeking results.” The sloppy practice did not betray, and the results gradually came to follow.
He left Saitama Astraia in 2019. I practiced without belonging to the team for a year, but I felt the limits as a player and the difficulty of maintaining motivation. Meanwhile, I joined the group after being called out by “GOOD JOB” in my hometown, Kanagawa. In my heart, I joined in the form of “reversing” the retirement that I had decided once.
