Part of the “Next Circle” that started two years ago
A baseball class by Nippon-Ham Fighters Dohto University was held on the 27th at the Seisa Dohto University indoor practice field in Kitahiroshima City. Based on the idea of pitcher Minoru Sugiura from Obihiro City, pitcher Taisho Tamai from Saroma Town, pitcher Shun Fukuda from Sapporo City, pitcher Ryuyo Sato from Akkeshi Town, and outfielder Kataoka from Yakumo Town. People gather. He coached a total of 33 people from five youth baseball teams and wished for the birth of a professional baseball player in the future.
The instruction started with how to hold the ball, followed by catch ball, knock, pitching practice, and tee hitting. When Sato and Kataoka show off a dynamic swing with a tee hit, the children scream in admiration. Tamai, who threw three balls at each participant as a batting pitcher, said, “I had a hard time because the ball is small, but I’m glad you were pleased. I want you to enjoy playing baseball and continue for a long time.” Loosen.
Part of the “Next Circle” baseball boys and girls support project started two years ago by Hokkaido horse players. The number of players from Hokkaido, who were pitcher Yohei Kagiya (current giant), Sugiura, and Tamai at the time of inauguration, has increased to eight this season. Until now, we have provided support for training equipment, and the baseball class was held for the first time.
In the mind of Sugiura, the inventor, I had memories of my elementary school days. “When I was in elementary school, the Fighters moved to Hokkaido, but there was no baseball class for the players. I remember Mr. Koba, who died the other day, once came to Obihiro (although it is small). I wondered if active players (not OBs) would be special for children, “he said.
