Today,Long tailWe bring you the blog of (tamato 4th Yao)!
It’s been 15 years sence I first discovered baseball. I have had many experiences that I couldn’t achieve thanks to baseball, but I’m confident I’ve achieved something even bigger than that. However, although it was a long baseball life that wasn’t too intense, I would like to look back at it as I, who have a lack of memory. I usually use Chat GPT when writing, but this time I will write in my own words. I think it’s difficult to read my sentences as I’m weak in Japanese, but please read them all the way to the end.
In the fall of first grade elementary school, I was asked to write my second semester goals in Homeroom. A freind had invited me to a baseball team, so I didn’t hesitate to write “stepping on the home base,” and told my parents that I wanted to play baseball when I got home. This is the beginning of my baseball career.
At first, I wasn’t from a baseball family, so I never played baseball, and I had no clue about my senses.For this reason, my mother would buy me Pokemon bread every week, crying because I didn’t want to go to practice. Thanks to this Pokemon Pan I loved at the time, I managed to continue playing baseball. In junior high school, he joined the internal baseball team and won the Osaka City tournament. In high school, I was able to remain in the top 8 in the public schools in my last summer. Both junior and senior high school were blessed with teammates and coaches, and I was able to gain valuable experiences and earned me a great title.
After going through this past,I decided to join the Kansai University baseball team. In university, I continued my practice with the goal of 150km/h. If I could pitch 150km/h, I would be able to boast in the future and would be able to pitch in the final goal of the league. 80% of the factors behind the increase in pitch speed was improving my form, so most of the four years were during a period of straying my form. When I first joined the club, I used Orix pitcher yamaoka as a reference, but when I adopted a form that raised my legs substantially, my pitch speed increased, but my control became poor and I couldn’t do any fast shots. as I practiced Quick, Quick has gotten better and has been transformed into a smaller form than anyone else. After all, he pitched overthrows, and in the end he was the most orthodox way to throw.
I had no serious injuries for four years, so I was able to enjoy playing baseball for a long time, but I was struggling with getting credits a lot. In the Department of architecture, where there were no seniors, it was so harsh that he was told that he would be “hopefully able to graduate in five years” as soon as he entered the school. Above all, there were a lot of assignments, and I sometimes went all out at school the day before I submitted my assignments for models and drawings.Furthermore, because the test was difficult, I joined a friend from the department at the Library’s Learning Commons after practice, and spent my days studying until closing. Despite all this, I have kept my training time as much as possible and have been living my first baseball university life. I didn’t reach 150km/h at all, but in the spring of my fourth year, my goal to participate in the league came true, and I ended up finishing my baseball career with the result being OK. I wanted to do that, but I was assigned to the final inning in the match against Kansai University, which took place a week after I made a league appearance, but I was in a rough state and couldn’t keep up with the one point difference and lost by a walk-off. Since then, I have been given the title of “monster.” From there, he was given the final inning three times in a match, but conceded a run in all three times, which made him unable to dispel him and ended up retiring.
It may not be a good ending, but I was able to get through it for myself and I have no regrets about being able to continue playing baseball this much. even in this year and the heat, I sometimes wondered why I was running so much, but now I truly feel that I am glad I continued playing baseball until college. He has always been weak and has been easily influenced by those around him,but thanks to the good people he meets,he is able to be influenced in a positive direction,and I am only grateful to everyone. I’m truly a happy person. With the support of many people, I was able to live such a fantastic baseball life. Thank you everyone.
To my parents

Thank you for making a large breakfast and lunch box every day from early in the morning. My mother was a noisy mother about sleep and food, but thanks to that, she is still healthy. thank you.
A friend in the department. Thank you for being friends. It’s undoubtedly thanks to everyone that I was able to play baseball until my fourth year. Thank you for taking away my time and teaching me how to study and helping me with assignments. Let’s all graduate together. Yamaguchi-san
