On the 13th, Angels pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (34) unveiled his voluntary training at King of the Hill (KOH), a baseball complex he established last year in Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture. He expressed a strong desire to participate in the WBC next March. If this happens, he will become the first Japanese representative in all categories. Expectations are high for the first formation of the “Hanamaki Higashi duo” with Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani (31), who has announced his participation. The following day, the 14th, a baseball class was held for 4th to 6th grade elementary school students at Toyota Motor East Japan’s indoor practice facility for adult baseball players in Kanegasaki-cho, Izawa-gun, Iwate Prefecture. # Yusei Kikuchi # WBC Delivering the latest news Sponichi Annex https://www.sponichi.co.jp/ Sponichi Photo and Video Club’s X (old Twitter) https://x.com/Sponichi_Photo Sponichi Photo and Video Club’s Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sponichiphoto_official?igsh=MWVyZmZzcGpvNmsycA== Sponichi’s X (old Twitter) https://twitter.com/sponichiannex
