Book content
When I was in junior high school, I had 5 teammates in the same grade, and only 1 in official games.
I lost the round called, and even at a public high school, there were only two students in the same grade, and I could barely win in practice games. Despite his background, former Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles player Ryo Hijirisawa did not seem to be a professional baseball player, he was the number one stolen base, had no errors as an outfielder, was a candidate for the WBC representative, and was a key player in the team’s first Japan Championship. This book is a book that looks back on Mr. Hijisawa’s extremely rare baseball life and approaches the “thinking” that led him to that point.
