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

Meiji University infielder Keigo Okada was selected in the second round by the Rakuten Eagles.

With his senior of two years, infielder Rui Muneyama, being a member, he has a positive impression of the Rakuten Eagles as a team where 'there are many social media posts and the players get along well.' He expressed his enthusiasm, saying, 'I can play baseball on the same team as Muneyama again. I want to do my best so I don't lose to him.'

His weapon is a playstyle full of speed in both offense and defense. He announced himself as a candidate for the baseball world's representative speedster, saying, 'I think my appeal point is speed, so I want people to see me running around the diamond with these legs. I want to be known as Okada when people think of a fleet-footed runner in professional baseball.'
