Kogakkan University.
It was already ten years ago when I first visited a university baseball club that seemed to have no connection with baseball.
I went to Ise to listen to Kogakkan University’s manager Susumu Morimoto appear in a book about college baseball coaches.
Manager Morimoto played an active role as a shortstop with good walking, good defense, and strong hitting at Ujiyamada Commercial High School, and in the fall of his third year, he was drafted second in the draft by the Hankyu Braves (currently Orix Buffaloes). After all, at that time he refused the nomination and went on to Komazawa University, but after that he played baseball for a long time, and he is a baseball player.
The reason was that he was strongly interested in teaching student baseball at a university in Mie Prefecture, whose name is rarely heard in baseball.
What is Kogakkan University in Ise Jingu?
I went to a place called Ise Jingu for the first time.
Kogakkan University is one of the few “Shinto” universities. In a corner of the dense, deep forest of Ise Jingu, there was a school building and a modest ground.
At that time ten years ago, there were 30 to 40 members. I heard that the player who will be the captain is a student of the Shinto Department, and after graduating, he got a job at Aoshima Shrine in Miyazaki Prefecture. appeared in the costume of
“Until last year it was all this, but now it’s this one!”
After making a gesture of swinging the bat sideways, this time, he waved the bill vertically with a bang, a bang, and laughed happily.
In the past, the Mie University League was dominated by Mie Chukyo University, which produced pitchers such as Takahiro Norimoto of Rakuten. It seems that it is becoming a regular. In 2015, he also participated in the All Japan Collegiate Baseball Championship.
“This year, something interesting has come into our house. Maybe we can get our first professional!”
It was in the autumn of 2020 that Director Morimoto told me about the existence of “Reon Murata”.
