I'll introduce Yamamoto Yasuhiro. I'm
interested in him recently. He was born in 1993, and he is 22 years old now. He
graduated from Keio High School and University. Takahashi Yoshinobu, who is the baseball manager of the Giants from this year graduated from Keio University, too. Yamamoto is the player wearing uniform number 56. He plays short stop, but he played pitcher when he was a junior high school student. He began to play short stop as a high school student. He joined the Giants from
this year, and he was drafted fifth. In 2016 on May 1, the Giants played a game
with the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. He took part in this game for the first time as a pinch-hitter for the catcher.
On May 31, I went to Kamagaya Stadium in
Chiba. This stadium is the Nihon Ham Fighters's farm home ground. I watched a
game between the Giants and the Nihon Ham Fighters farmteams. Yamamoto took part in this game as a starting player in the leadoff position and shortstop. I took pictures of him, so the pictures on the
right in this blog post are my pictures. When I watched this game, the
temperature was 29.5 degrees in the inside of the Kamagaya Stadium. It was a very
hot day, but the players played the game as hard as they could. Their figures are
very cool!! On this day, I got sunburned, so my sunburned legs and arms were
hurt by the shower when I took a bath.
Yamamoto has taken part on games of the first team recently, and he hit. I think he is making a good impression on Giants fans. My favorite baseball position is shortstop, so I want Yamamoto to make it up from the farm team to the first team. And I hope that he will become a player like my favorite player Sakamoto Hayato in the future.
