Pitcher Kenta Kozono (third year), who is the fastest candidate for this fall’s draft and has the fastest right arm at 152km, made his Koshien debut with a major shutout win. With 130 pitches, 4 hits and 8 strikeouts. The fastest of the day was 148 km with the speed pistols of various professional teams (the stadium screen is 147 km), but the aim ball of Gifu Commercial & Business High School was removed and the smart one flashed to change the distribution of the ball. The enemy general, Takumi Kajisha (69), also contained the tactic of strong blows and contributed to the victory of the goodbye. It looks like the first shutout of this tournament will be “Spring in Kozono.”

“1-0” is the ace’s medal. Both schools did not score points 8 times. 2 gave 2 passports without runners. After throwing the first ball to Ito, the enemy general, Takumi Kajisha, announces a pinch hitter. This was the second pinch hitter in the middle of the at-bat. It doesn’t move even if it’s a strange plan. I escaped the crisis by slicing through the sky with the exterior angle slider.
“For me, I was grateful for the first look at the person who took the spot on the road. I tried to distract the pitcher.”
You can be hot. Koshien’s debut. “I’ve shot myself a bit.” Walk at the beginning of a hike. The ball went up and allowed a hit with a cut ball with a treasure sword early in the third inning. “The change doesn’t even shake. It was aiming for a cut or a little change ball. Launch a lot of sliders from the middle stage. He showed a clever throw that missed its target.
You can step into a difficult situation. Of the nine, six allowed runners in scoring position. Really 5 sacrificial hits. He didn’t move, though, saying, “I was grateful for the touch even if it got the runner into second base.” The 17-year-old was in command of the warlord.
In my room at home in Osaka prefecture, I put a piece of cloth on the wall. The uniform number “18” is the origin. July 26, 19 Lost to the South match in the quarterfinals of the Wakayama summer tournament. It was Kozono, a freshman, who was beaten in the final. The fastball, which was invincible in high school, was crushed. After the game, I couldn’t get up from the bench. I kept crying on the bus. On the way back, my father Hiroyuki (48) advised me, “If you only play fastball, you won’t be able to play baseball in high school. Isn’t that different from remembering pitches using fastball in the future?”
A few days later, the traumatized Kozono confided in his parents. “I was the most disappointed in my life. I dropped out of third grade.” It was a weapon with two seams and a severed ball. Kozono says. “The only decisive ball was a fastball. I am aware of the changing ball that looks like a fastball to the batter.” The humiliation turned into power, and now it’s there.
The 18 uniform of that day stepped on the black ground for the first time. “A mound that is very easy to throw.” Earlier in the year, he said, “One of the goals is to be first in the draft.” Before the scouts from the 12 teams gathered, the No. 1 uniform was shining.[Shunsaku Sakai]

◆ Goodbye 1-0 Shutout Ichiwakayama Kozono recorded a shutout victory with a score of 1-0 with a farewell victory. Senbatsu’s 1-0 goodbye has been ruled out since Tsubasa Ito (Hanamaki Higashi) marked him in the Hikone Higashi War (extended 10 times) in 2018. Although Ito was second, he was rescued from no death once, and although he was not a complete game, the shutout was recorded by the rules. This is the first complete game since Kohei Arihara (Koryo = Miyazaki Technical High School) for 10 years.
◆ Two sets of farewell shutout Ichiwakayama and Hiroshima Shinjo won the shutout with a farewell victory. This is the first time in Senbatsu’s history that a farewell game has been held twice in a tournament. Twice a day for the first time, including the summer tournament.
