Professional baseball/Hanshin released an interview project titled "Player Question Relay" on the official Youtube channel on the 8th. A so-called “relay format” in which the players continue to ask questions. Seishiro Sakamoto, the captain of the team this season, first nominated pitcher Shintaro Fujinami. When asked, "Why is the room (at the camp) so dirty?" pitcher Fujinami said with a wry smile, "There is no reason for the room to be dirty." "When I'm camping, no one comes into my room, and I know where everything is, so I just think I don't have to clean it up." Put it in the dryer, put it in a basket, and wear it from there.” However, it seems that Fujinami has a particular obsession, saying, "I don't like it when people clean it up. I want to clean it up myself. If it's messy, I'll decide on a cleanup day and clean it up." I will." Pitcher Fujinami, who conducted voluntary training with pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano, a giant, in Miyakojima, Okinawa. He is particular about starting pitchers, and has set goals of "winning in double digits as a starting pitcher" and "(number of pitches) 160, 170 innings." In addition, the video also introduces the reason why ace pitcher Yuki Nishi can smell "good" every day, and goals for this season by Atsushi Onodera, who broke out last year.
