How to raise a golden egg

Manager Kazuki Inoue, 53, has already clashed with the team over the coaching policy of Muuto Kanamaru, 21, a pitcher from Kansai University who was taken first in this year’s draft by Chunichi.

The fact that Rakuten and Chunichi, both in the B class, were able to acquire these two players is a welcome development considering the balance of power,” said a scout for one of the Pacific League teams.

This offseason, Chunichi is likely to lose longtime mainstay Dayan Viciedo (35), reliever Rider Martinez (28), and Shinnosuke Ogasawara (27), who is aiming to move to the major leagues through the posting system, and is expected to have a tremendous drop in power. The development of Kanemaru, a promising new starter, is the team’s top priority.

Manager Inoue has experience as the manager of the second team, and he understands the importance of development. He has a detailed plan for the development of Kanamaru, who is a “golden egg,” and depending on his condition, he may start the spring training camp with the second team and watch his development carefully.

However, the team leaders, who prioritize entertainment, are reportedly urging Inoue to have Kanamaru start at the first camp and make the opening day rotation. Inoue, who knows that the professional world is not easy, angrily asked if the team was serious about making the team stronger. If he is clashing with Inoue, to whom he entrusted the reform of the team, at such an early stage, it is hard to imagine what the future holds.

I’ll take care of him.”

It is said that the people of Nagoya, the hometown of the baseball team, are already rubbing their arms around pitcher Kanamaru. For example, the head of a local company is known to have personally “supported” a number of young pitchers.

Kanemaru-kun? I have already asked him to bring him to dinner so that we can meet for the first time at the spring training camp in February.

I want to take a picture with him and get his autograph! I have already asked the president of the owner company, who is also a fellow Tanimachi member, to meet with Hiroto Takahashi (22), who is of the same generation as me and is definitely a pitcher who will lead the Dragons. I want to take good care of him and make him a big success.

Kanamaru signed a provisional contract with the team on December 4. Now that he has finally started his professional career, his “difficult opponents” are waiting with bated breath for him. ……
