Takuya Mitsuma, a side right arm outside the Chunichi Dragons “I had the pride that I was in good shape”

Even if you stand at a crossroads as a professional baseball player, you will not move at all. On the contrary, he is trying to rush by looking only in front of him. Pitcher Takuya Mitsuma, who was out of the force of Chunichi only this season. The 6th year side right arm decided to take the tryout test immediately after the notification. “Can I go to another team or retire?” The origin of the cleanliness is the “cultivation guts” that have been crawling up in the professional world.

October 7th. I was called to the baseball team office in Nagoya city and told that I would not sign a contract next season. Similarly, there were some teammates who couldn’t hide their surprise after receiving the notification from outside the force, but Mitsuma took it calmly.

“Honestly, I felt like,’Oh! I understand!’. The depression was zero.”

I didn’t feel it, and I wasn’t disappointed. “I was proud that I was in good shape. Realistically, my feelings were for the next team.” In the exhibition match held during the suspension period of the Tokyo Olympics, he continued to have no goals and was promoted to the 1st army. Looking only at the results, the ERA was 6.75 after only five games pitched, but I felt a response to the form improvement that started off. After September, when he was in the second army again, he finished without any goals, and he was convinced of the power and control of the ball throughout the season. I couldn’t think of any options other than a comeback in another team.
