On the 17th, the World Baseball Classic (WBC) Japan National Team “Samurai Japan” training camp started in Miyazaki City. After practice, we talked to pitcher Yu Darvish. Q: How was it after the first day? Darvish: I think I was able to focus on practice, especially as usual. Q: What kind of adjustment will you make from here to go to the match? Darvish: My physical condition varies from day to day, so my adjustment method is to approach it properly. Q: What is the atmosphere like in the team? Darvish: It’s very relaxed, and I think we all know each other, so we got along very well. Q: What are the strengths of the Japanese national team against the world? Darvish: I think that the distance between people is very close, so I think it’s usually difficult to get together in a short period of time. I think you can show Q: Do you have many questions from young players? Darvish: I think there are some players who haven’t been able to talk much yet because I think they’re pretty cautious at the moment. He asks me a lot of things, and I also ask him. I’m totally fine, so I want you to come more and more. Q: Is it important to convey various things to young players? Darvish: I’ve been in America for a long time, so it’s sometimes difficult to get the latest information when I’m in Japan. I think I can do that besides winning and losing, so I would like to do that (information sharing). Samurai Japan’s first match is scheduled for the warm-up match against Softbank on the 25th.
