2018. The high school baseball giant had an immovable second batter.
Osaka Toin’s Touma Aochi makes his 173cm body look huge.
The melody roaring from the Alps Stand, “Guren no Yumiya”. The over-action, which makes the upper body recoil greatly at bat, is enough to intimidate the pitcher. If you think so, when you hold up the bat, you will face your opponent with a refreshing smile.
That gap was also his pronoun.
Stunned by the prestigious level…”I can’t beat any of my classmates”
Aochi, who sat second in all Koshien games, helped Osaka Toin win consecutive spring and summer championships with a high average of 18 hits in 46 at-bats and a batting average of 30%, 9 minutes and 1 minute.
Height belongs to a small category in baseball. Left-handed throwing is also generally viewed as a disadvantage because the positions that can be defended are limited.
The left-handed outfielder showed off a performance that didn’t make us feel even the slightest bit of anxiety.
“I was precocious, so I was a big pitcher up until elementary school, but from junior high school I always thought that ‘the position to compete was the outfield,’ so it was a natural feeling.”
Even before he entered high school, Aochi had a weapon, a bat, that didn’t make him feel handicapped.
12 years when I was in the 6th grade of elementary school. Since he longed for the team that won consecutive spring and summer championships with the battery of Shintaro Fujinami and Yuya Mori, he swung the bat only thinking about playing baseball at Osaka Toin. When he was in junior high school, he played No. 4 for Henan Little Senior, and led the team to the national level with his skillful bat control. Its presence caught the eye of Director Koichi Nishitani and made his wish come true.
No one is beaten – a small good hitter, but his pride is shaken by the high level of the prestigious family.
In particular, Aochi was shown the difference in status by Kyodai Fujiwara, who had experience playing against him in junior high school. He has a muscular body that doesn’t seem to be the same age. Immediately after he entered the school, he witnessed the batting that repeatedly over the fence and was at a loss for words.
