"First-class conditions" envisioned by Hanshin Tigers 4 Maekawa "Professional preparedness" 20 hours after nomination | Full-Count
Overnight from the draft ... Practice with tiger-colored clothing "It just happened to be yellow!"
October 12th, one night after the draft meeting. When I visited the ground in Gojo City, Nara Prefecture, I saw a figure moving in bright yellow clothing. "It just happened to be yellow!" Ukyo Maegawa, an outfielder at Chiben Gakuen, who was nominated for 4th place by the Hanshin Tigers, had already made a start toward the professional world. He didn't seem to stand out at all and talked about his ideal image as a professional. [Izumi Ichikawa]
For Maekawa, Koshien Stadium has always been home. He first set foot in the summer of his first year of high school. Since then, he has fought a total of 11 games, 4 tournaments in total. He also hit a home run to the left middle, saying "I wanted to hit" in the third round against Japan Airlines this summer when he won the runner-up. For left-handed batters, the opposite direction using the beach breeze is an important point to fight in Koshien. Maekawa's challenges haven't changed even after releasing one shot last summer.
"There were a lot of things that would have been a hit if I was hitting in the opposite direction. I have a habit of forcibly pulling the outside angle, so I want to be able to hit a big ball in the opposite direction. is"
He is 176 cm tall and weighs 88 kg. The outfielder, who is not particularly big, wants to model the players who will become seniors in the team. "I think Nakano and Chikamoto are very good at carrying them in the opposite direction. Even though I'm not that big, I see them hitting home runs and hitting long hits, so it's just power. I understand that there is no such thing. " He named the 171 cm tall left fielder Koji Chikamoto outfielder and Takumu Nakano infielder.
Emphasize the start from scratch "Let's polish ourselves and shine again"
