Miyashita Asahi is a large right-handed infielder with a wide range of power hits. He was selected for the Japan University National Team in the fall of his sophomore year.

I play baseball with the goal of being a long-term player, so I'm attracted to the stamina of former Chunichi Dragons pitcher Masa Yamamoto, who can play until he's 50, and his fastball that can penetrate the batter, something that can't be measured by a speed gun. I want to become that kind of player." Katayama Koshin is a serious pitcher who can strike out batters with a fastball in the high 140s and a well-balanced changeup. He's a ready-to-play left-handed pitcher who can play all positions, including starter, reliever, and closer. [News Link Online] Broadcasting Kanagawa Prefecture news! Please subscribe!
