In Mie Prefecture, there is a high school student who is hesitant about whether to become a doctor or a professional baseball player. The rumor is slowly spreading.
Katsuaki Nakayama from Takada High School. The name “Katsuaki” comes from his parents’ wish that he would be watched over by the “moon” and “sun” on his radical.

Since his maternal grandfather was a surgeon, Nakayama has had a vague admiration for doctors since childhood.
“When I saw my grandfather saying ‘thank you’ from a patient at the hospital, doctors were amazing. I came to think that I wanted to be one, too.”
Junior high school went to Takata Junior High School, which provides a six-year education in a consistent middle and high school. Takada Junior and Senior High School, a six-year system, has produced successful applicants to prestigious national universities such as the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, and Nagoya University. And since there are 20 to 30 graduates who go on to Mie Medical School every year, Nakayama took the exam for Takada Junior High School.
On the other hand, Nakayama as a baseball player is also budding.
Nakayama, who played as a catcher for the Takada Junior High Baseball Club until the summer of his third year, was caught in this thought while playing catch with his friends in the park after retiring.
“Isn’t the pitcher better?”
Originally I was confident in the strength of my shoulders, but I had poor control and there was no catcher who could catch fast balls. However, when he practiced pitching for the first time in a long time, he felt better than expected. Therefore, Nakayama participates in the Tsu City selection, which was selected as a member, as a pitcher with the intention of “making memories”.
