プロ1年目のシーズンに向けて　ルーキー藤原聡大投手・伊藤樹投手が本音トーク　【楽天イーグルス沖縄キャンプ】

Broadcasting live from the Rakuten Eagles' training camp in Okinawa, announcer Naoki Sakayori will be speaking with this year's two notable rookies, No. 1 draft pick Sota Fujiwara and No. 2 draft pick Itsuki Ito. Naoki Sakayori: "We've got pitchers Sota Fujiwara and Itsuki Ito here. We'd love for you to join us." Sota Fujiwara and Itsuki Ito: "Thank you very much." Self-introduction and selling points Announcer Sakayori: "Please introduce yourself, starting with pitcher Fujiwara, including what you'd like people to see and what you're selling." Sota Fujiwara: I'm Fujiwara Satoshi. My appealing points are my "straight pitch" and pitching with emotion. I look forward to working with you." Sakayori: "Do you have a favorite food?" Fujiwara: "My favorite food is omurice." Sakayori: "Do you eat a lot of omurice?" Fujiwara: "Yes, I eat quite a lot." Sakayori: "I understand. Thank you. Next, I'd like to introduce myself, Ito. You can also tell us your favorite food and your appealing points, so please go ahead." Ito Itsuki: "I'm Tatsuki Ito, the second pick in the draft. My appealing point is my game-making ability. My favorite food is sushi." Sakayori: "Sushi, huh? Do you eat a lot of it?" Ito: "In conclusion, "I'll eat a lot." Sakayori: "I see. Thank you." Thoughts on the first training camp. Sakayori: "This is your first training camp. How have you been so far?" Fujiwara: "I guess I'm feeling more tired than usual, due to the tension." Sakayori: "Are you feeling particularly fatigued physically?" Fujiwara: "No, I'm still fine." Sakayori: "How about Ito?" Ito: "There are a lot of seniors here, so I'm feeling mentally exhausted and tired from practice." Sakayori: "You're feeling all kinds of fatigue, aren't you?" Sakayori: "You both seem to be feeling a lot of fatigue, so I'll take a look at how today's training camp went." Second Training Camp Begins. Players: "Good morning." New foreign player Urena, who arrived in Japan late, joined the team and worked up a sweat in some light training. Ouchi, a third-year high school graduate, took the mound for batting practice, which simulated a real game. He struck out batters with a curveball that dropped sharply. He threw 33 pitches, including a fastball to Muneyama, and only two hits were allowed. He showed off his strengths and got off to a good start. First-round draft pick Fujiwara entered the bullpen for the second time this camp. He threw 42 powerful pitches, including curveballs. Second-round draft pick Ito showed off his nimble fielding during defensive practice. He deepened his teamwork with the fielders by checking sign plays. Bullpen Impressions Sakayori: "I've been watching you two today. First, Fujiwara. You went to the bullpen again today. How do you feel about your time in the bullpen so far?" Fujiwara: "He's adjusted to the mound and is pitching well." Sakayori: "I heard you threw balls over 150 km/h in your first bullpen session. Are you putting in a lot of effort?" Fujiwara: "There are a lot of media people here, so I think you're putting in more effort than usual." Sakayori: "Are you making a good impression on the management?" Fujiwara: "I hope so." Sakayori: "He threw some really great balls today." Sakayori: "And now, Ito. Today, I'm going to talk to you about the bullpen." You didn't make it into the bullpen, but you've been in the bullpen twice so far. How did it feel to pitch? Ito: "I'm pitching better than I expected, and I think I'm gradually improving." Sakayori: "Do you feel like you're making a good impression when you step onto the mound?" Ito: "My strength is control, so I think I'm making that stand out." Sakayori: "That means you're pitching with a good grip." Ito: "That's right." Fujiwara's handstand training Sakayori: "They've both been in the bullpen and thrown a fair number of pitches. I've been keeping track of what you two are doing. First, I'd like to ask Fujiwara what he's been up to. May I ask you?" Sakayori: "During the warm-up, Fujiwara was doing a handstand during the warm-up before entering the bullpen. I don't often see pitchers doing this moment before pitching, so what is their intention behind doing it?" Fujiwara: "I am conscious of being able to move my unstable parts, both my upper and lower body, while keeping them firmly connected, and as part of that I also practice breathing by inhaling through my nose and exhaling through my mouth." Sakayori: "Did you do mechanical gymnastics in the past?" Fujiwara: "No, I haven't." Sakayori: "When did you start doing handstands during your warm-up?" Fujiwara: "I started doing it in college." Sakayori: "Does this help you balance?" Fujiwara: "Usually, my feet are on the ground, but I try to do it so that even when my hands and feet are on the ground, I can move as if my feet are on the ground." Sakayori: "That was a pretty acrobatic move." Ito's nickname: "Iju (Iki)." Sakayori: "You wanted to talk to Kenta Maeda about a lot of things before camp started, so I imagine you s...
