Seibu Lions' 2025 draft rookie joint training camp began on the 10th at Carminique in Tokorozawa, Saitama. The 198cm tall, 110kg outfielder, Ginto Ando (22), who was drafted in the seventh round by the development draft and is a member of the Shikoku League's Tokushima Division, made his presence felt from the first day.

An extraordinary newcomer has appeared. His shoe size is an astonishing 33 centimeters. That's one centimeter taller than Softbank Hawks 's Akihiro, who is 2 meters tall, and he spends his days browsing the internet, saying, "I don't have time to be picky about the shape or anything." His good physique has been outstanding since childhood, and he was 169 centimeters tall when he graduated from elementary school and 189 centimeters when he graduated from junior high school. He also spent his days struggling with his shoe size, saying, "My feet were 30 centimeters from the sixth grade, and I was the only one whose shoe rack was overflowing. In junior high school, we wore shoes, but I was the only one whose size didn't fit, so I had to wear slippers."

On this day, everyone played catch and then practiced tee batting. He was pitcher during his time in the independent league, but his hidden talent was recognized, and he joined the pros as outfielder. "My strength is batting. I want to make sure I can showcase it." He is poised to soar in the professional world. (Ayami Onaka)
