Comment We are very honored to have had the opportunity to pitch on the ceremonial pitch before the Saitama Seibu Lions and Chunichi Dragons’ interleague games. I would like to liven up not only the baseball and soccer but the entire Japanese sports world, so I would be happy if you could watch my pitch with a warm eye. With the goal of striking, I will take my heart and enjoy my all with all my might. Japan’s national soccer team coach Moriyasu Kazuma appears at the first pitch! …The no-ban pitching is also “very frustrating” (SOCCERKING) Manager Moriyasu Kazushi, who leads the Japanese national soccer team, played the ceremonial pitch (first pitch) between the Saitama Seibu Lions and the Chunichi Dragons in professional baseball on the 13th. Manager Moriyasu, who appeared in Belluna Dome, went to the mound wearing a Seibu uniform with the number 26. Although his pitching was far from the strike zone to third base, he was left without bound by the mitt of Seibu’s manager Nishiguchi Fumiya, who served as catcher. Coach Moriyasu smiled and looked back on his pitching as follows: “I was able to feel the connection between soccer and baseball. I would like to thank everyone on the Lions. I personally had a very frustrating ceremonial pitch, but I was happy that coach Nishiguchi (Fumiya) received the ball. I’m a former baseball boy, but it was difficult to use the slope of the mound to throw.” “Today, after attending Belluna Dome, Hiroike (Koji/Chief of the team headquarters) helped me with practice. Hiroike said, ‘Nice ball!’, so I was able to get on the mound in a good mood. I’m happy that baseball fans were so concerned about the results of the Japan soccer team. I hope everyone involved in baseball will send their ‘ki’ to the Japan soccer team. Watching live at the stadium is the best!” The Japanese national soccer team led by manager Moriyasu has won the FIFA World Cup 26 Asia final qualifying round, which was held until the other day, with 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and has made its eighth consecutive appearances in the main tournament.[Seibu]Japan’s national soccer team manager Moriyasu Kazuma appears at the first pitch! “I’m a former baseball boy, but it was difficult to pitch using the slope of the mound” (BASEBALLKING) Japan national soccer team coach Moriyasu Kazushi appeared on the pre-game ceremonial pitch between Seibu and Chunichi (Belluna Dome) on the 13th. Through Seibu’s team’s public relations, manager Moriyasu said, “Soccer and baseball. I was able to feel the connection between other events, and I would like to say a few words of gratitude to everyone on the Lions. I was really disappointed with the ceremonial pitch, but I was happy that manager Nishiguchi (Fumiya) received the ball. I’m a former baseball boy, but it was difficult to use the slope of the mound to throw. Today, after attending Belluna Dome, Hiroike (team public relations) helped me with practice.
