[Confession]Lotte Yamaguchi Koki threw out a message that was so vivid that he wouldn't have been able to tell his coach.
This time, Tamura Fujio's “Premium Report” is Lotte's outfielder Yamaguchi Koki (24).
For Tamura, it was a random interview that he would have never forgotten. When we consider the success of Yamaguchi in the first team after that, this report conveys the difficulties and hardships of professional baseball players.

It was a very memorable interview. Since we first met and talked to Yamaguchi in the Phoenix League last year, we have exchanged words at the stadium several times.
However, I don't know who I was in active play, and I don't have any interactions when I was a coach. In late July, I happened to be visiting a farm match against Lotte, and I came across a surprising scene.
Looking at the ground, Yamaguchi, who had just finished practicing, was on the bench. Just as I met Yamaguchi, I suddenly started running. As he was surprised at what happened, he ran straight to the bench and came to me to say hello.
This was the first time I've been interviewing about this for six years. What's more, it's not that there were many interviews. I was surprised at what happened, and before I knew it, I had heard about my latest news.
YamaguchiHello Tamura-san!
TamuraOh, it's been a while. What's wrong, I never thought I was in the farm.
YamaguchiYes, sorry.

Born on October 24th, 1959 in Narashino, Chiba.
He joined Nippon Ham as the sixth pick in the draft from Kanto No. 1 to 1977. In 1993, he won the Golden Glove Award for the first time.
In the 1993 off-season, Giants' manager Nagashima received a love call from him as a free agent (remaining at Nippon Ham), and in the 1996 off-season, then manager Oh (current chairman) decided to transfer to Daiei (now SoftBank) directly via telephone. From 2007, he joined the cabinet at the request of Coach Chunichi Ochiai.
The catcher was highly praised by ON and Ochiai, but Tamura firmly adheres to the stance that “it's not something you'll ever tell anyone about this story.” After 42 years of professional baseball, he became a commentator. He has played in a total of 1,552 professional games, 1,123 hits and 110 home runs.
