On the 28th, Orix held a press conference at a hotel in Osaka City to announce the signing of new players. Yosuke Kubota, outfielder from Sapporo Nihon University who was drafted fourth overall and wore number 58 uniform, said with shining eyes, "I'm really excited that it's finally starting."
His outstanding physical abilities are his weapons, with a vertical jump of 89cm, a swing speed of 164km, and a fastest throw of 148km. As a high school graduate drafted fourth overall, he started from the same starting point as Ichiro (Mariners special assistant to the chairman and instructor) and Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers, and Kubota declared, "I want to become a player whose name will be mentioned alongside those people."
His parents run the popular hormone restaurant "Tokyo Hormone" in his hometown of Yunicho, which has been loved for half a century. The 18-year-old, who grew up eating there since he was a child, said, "I think it's the most delicious in the world, so I would love for everyone to try it."
