[Chunichi]Kamibayashi Seichi: “Yukyo has an aura. Starr” stimulating from his former club Softbank Shuto, who is a student of the same grade – Professional Baseball Man Reporter Column – Baseball Column: Daily Sports

Chunichi's interleague games this season ended on the 22nd. They lost 8 wins and 10 losses for the fourth consecutive year. Outfielder Kamibayashi Seichi (29), who played in all 18 games, spoke deeply, “The Hawks were really strong.” He lost three consecutive times on the first card from the 3rd to the 5th. In both cases, the starting players were taken over and the game was quickly created in the beginning.

Kamibayashi was the No. 1 player in all three games, but he was kept in a batting average of .154, with 2 hits in 13 at-bats and 0 walks. On the other hand, Hawks' No. 1 infielder Shuto Yukyo (29), led the batting average with 6 hits in 9 at-bats, with a batting average of .667 and 4 walks. The two who fought together during their time with the Hawks are in the same grade and are in close contact.

Shuto When I entered, I saw Seichi, who was a regular player, and I thought it was amazing. I wanted to be able to play together in the first team soon. He has become an enemy, but he has finally come to that stage.

Shuto joined the team in 2017 as second place in training from Higashi Agriculture University, Hokkaido Okhotsk. In his first year in 2018, he graduated from Sendai Ikuei, and in his fifth year, Kamibayashi hit a career-high 22 home runs in 143 games. The former Koshien star was shining in the distance. After that, Shuto continued to see him suffering from injuries that caused him to cry and suffer, including a torn Achilles tendon.

Shuto The other day, has anything changed (this season)? When I asked him, he said, “I've returned to the feeling of good times. My body is getting better too.” I think it's amazing, Seichi. We both carry the team first. I'm really happy.

For Shudong, the revival of Kamilin was a major stimulus. Kamibayashi also says, “Yukyo has an aura. Starr.” With his speed, he can instantly change the flow of the game, and brings fans to hope for that, which is what is important as a star.

Kamibayashi has stolen 15 bases, his career-high this season. At the Ball Encyclopedia, where fan voting was closed on the 22nd, he was ranked third in the outfield in the Central League, despite not being nominated for a mark sheet in the midterm announcement on the 20th. Shuto's votes have been slow due to the influence of being left for a month since late April, but I would like to see him co-starring again.[Chunichi contact = Ishibashi Takao]
