2026 Professional baseball Draft Conference supported by Lipovitan D (22nd)

Sho Mure, outfielder from Kyushu International University High School (Fukuoka), was selected in the second round of the draft by Nippon-Ham.

A right-handed power hitter boasting 36 career high school Home Run. He possesses high physical abilities, with a 6.1-second 50-meter dash and a 105-meter long-distance throw. At Kyushu Kokusai University High School, he joined the bench starting in the spring of his first year and participated in the Meiji Jingu baseball Tournament last autumn. In the quarterfinals against Yamanashi Gakuin, which was his national debut, he hit a home run into the center-field screen, stunning the scouts.

On this day, his father Junpei and mother Hiromi also rushed to the school ground to celebrate their son's second-round selection. Hiromi was deeply moved, saying, 'I still can't believe it.' She shared stories from his elementary school days, saying, 'He was the type who hated to lose at anything and would practice in secret. On the night before a game when he couldn't go outside to practice, he would secretly swing his bat in his room, and once he even turned pale after breaking the television. There was another time when he hit too many home runs and ended up hitting a neighbor's solar panel...'
