Rakuten Satohiro Fujiwara pitcher (21) of Hanazono University, the No. 1 pick by the Hanazono University baseball team, has set his sights on reaching 160 km/h, which would surprise even Kuro-chan (48), a comedian from Yasuda-Daisakus, who used to be a student at the school. The fastest 156-kilogram right-hander, who will be the school's first NPB player, declared emphatically, "I have confidence in my straight bat, and I will work hard to reach 160 kilometers. He is determined to showcase his straight ball in the professional game, making his seniors say, "Wah wah wah wah!

Kuro-chan, who had sent his support through Sports Hochi, also responded with his own "X." "I'm going to have a junior in professional baseball! Congratulations!" he said with delight. In response to the unexpected message, he said, "I saw it. I'm grateful. If I get the chance to meet you, I'd like to say hello," and expressed his excitement for the opportunity to appear together.

Mizuguchi, Shiga Prefecture, switched to pitcher in the spring of his third year. He blossomed at Hanazono University, where he developed into an immediate asset, using his fastball as a weapon. Upon receiving the sole first-round pick, he was at a loss for words. "I came to this university to become a professional, so I'm happy to be the first to be selected," he said, repeatedly expressing his gratitude to those around him.

Her goal for her rookie year is her first win. "I want to become a player who can win titles in the field I'm assigned to." With great ambition, she heads to uncharted territory, Sendai. (Naokawa Hibiki)
