Hiroshima has managed to nominate the No. 1 professional pitcher, Toyota Motor Corporation, Ryosuke Kuribayashi (24 = Univ. De Meijo). The “Professional Baseball Draft Conference supported by Lipobitan D” was held in Tokyo on the 26th, and it became a unique catch after last year’s Morishita.

The faster 153km ready-to-use right arm, who was not nominated in the draft two years ago, will join the counter piece next season.

The dream of a professional baseball player who once gave up came true after two years. A meeting place in the city of Aichi / Toyota. When the number one nominated player in Hiroshima was announced, Kuribayashi stretched his back. “I wasn’t expecting to be nominated for first place alone. Better to be happy. Toyota has the same red color, so I wonder if the uniform will fit soon.” I put on the red carp hat I had prepared and spilled my white teeth.

Two years ago, four years ago at the University of Meijo, he faced the draft with “second place tied” and missed the nomination. I turned to Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., who received an enthusiastic invitation. He sealed the slider that was released in college and learned how to cut balls, curves, and hairpins. He honed his skills and paved the way for his dream of No. 1 in the draft.

There is a teacher who made me want to become a professional. Mr. Souma Yamauchi, who played for Rakuten in China and Japan, and is currently the coach of Meijo University. After losing the nomination, he was turned down and said, “I still have a chance to target for the first time.” “Since you said that, I thought I had to turn professional and give back. I wonder if I could return one in that regard.” I brightened my eyes with deep emotion.

In the representative of the university of Japan, he was teammate of Morishita, who was a year younger. Kuribayashi said, “I think Morishita is the most active in last year’s draft. If I play an active role again, Hiroshima Carp’s population will increase. I don’t want to lose to Morishita.” I burned it. Immediately after receiving the first place nomination, Morishita sent me a LINE asking for a joint fight, saying “Congratulations. We can do it together again.” “If Morishita wins the rookie king, I want to do it for the second year in a row,” he said.

“I believe that Hiroshima Carp is a team that plays baseball with the support of citizens and fans. I also contribute strongly and bring smiles and courage to the local people and fans. I hope you can. “A man who has a dream enters the much sought after scene.[Propiedad antigua Ryomei]
