The final day of the training camp for Japan’s U-18 baseball team candidates was held on the 6th at a field in Nara Prefecture, where they worked up a sweat through batting practice and running. At the end of the three-day program, U-18 Japan National Team coach Miyu Ogura expressed his hopes for the high school students’ growth, saying, “I hope they improve by the summer and come to Koshien and show us how much they’ve grown.” I brought it.
Pitcher Atsushi Yoshioka of Anami Hikaru (Tokushima), who made it to the top eight in the selection tournament in March, said that he and pitcher Hibiki Takao of Koryo (Hiroshima) taught each other how to hold breaking balls, saying, “I was nervous at first, but I was able to come. It was good,” he said. Pitcher Takao also seemed inspired, saying, “Everyone has pitches that are different from high school players.I want to steal that and use it to my advantage.”
