Professional baseball scout “If there is a” skipping grade “in the draft, it will be the first place this year” I remember Suguru Egawa 45 years ago … Who is Kentaro Shinoki, a second-year pitcher at Hosei University? –Draft Meeting –Number Web

April 9th. I arrived at Jingu Baseball Stadium at the end of the first game, so the back of the net was almost full. The number of spectators is still limited, but the “Six Universities” are gradually returning to success.

When I looked at the ground with my back to the sun, it looked bright and not dazzling, so I found a seat above the stand on the third base side … the dugout and sat down.

The starting pitcher of Hosei University in the second game announced “Shinoki”, and I was surprised.


I’m glad I came …!

I have seen many times the pitching of Kisarazu Comprehensive High School’s fastball right arm, Kentaro Shinoki, who beats the opponent team at an overwhelming speed.

At that time, I think that around 145 km was constantly appearing.

It’s not just fastballs. The changing ball is also vertical, and the ball is moved sideways to combine “technology”. In addition, if you swing sharply and hit the base, you will get off to a quick start and take the second base. With good legs and a sense of base running, no player was so enthusiastic for the opponent and so much fun for the viewer.

If he says “yes”, I think he may be in first place in the draft along with Chukyo University Chukyo / Hiroto Takahashi (currently Chunichi) and Fukuoka University Ohori / Shunpeita Yamashita (currently Orix). However, he announced early on that he would go on to university, saying, “I am still thin and have no physical strength.”

Waseda’s “Dora 1 Candidate” struck out

From the start, thatHosei University, Kentaro Shinoki (2nd year, 177cm, 75kg, right-handed, left-handed)Fly to skip.

Constantly 148-151 km fastball, fast, fast.

Still, it’s the opening round of the league match this spring. The zone became higher with a little force, but after the second time when I noticed it and changed it to a feeling of power of about 80%, the ball restraint was also effective, and even the Waseda University batting line where the Koshien team is lined up is not out of hand. Hmm … I made you think so.
