◆2025 Professional baseball Draft Conference supported by Lipovitan D (23rd)

Ed Polocain (22) outfielder from Daigakuin University who was selected by Nippon-Ham as the second pick, held a press conference at his school in Suita, Osaka, and vowed to form a clean-up hitter unit with Mannami and Mizutani. "We have a lot of young players and they're strong. I think Mannami and Mizutani, who are both half-Japanese, are amazing," he said, looking forward to meeting them. "I'm not obsessed with hitting Home Run, but I'm confident in my distance," he said.

His father is Nigerian and his mother Korean, and he boasts a 190-centimeter, 101-kilogram body, and his older brother King (24), who came to the school to congratulate him, is a mixed martial artist. Ryoji Nakamura, 57, a former Kintetsu Hanshin Tigers coach at Daiin University, said, "The ball flies endlessly. （He is almost as good as Bryant," said Ryoji Nakamura, 57, a former Kintetsu player.

During his time with Japan Airlines, he was not even drafted, and on this day he shed tears as he recalled four years ago. "I have been able to get to this point thanks to the support of many people, including my family. I want to become a player who will leave his name in history." The "physical ability freak" that Coach Shinjo likes is coming to the northern lands. (Omote Yosuke)
