SAMURAI JAPAN coach Atsunori Inaba (48) held a staff meeting on the 18th and selected players for the Olympics, which was postponed to next year. Approximately 180 people were listed to narrow down the primary roasters whose submission deadline is March 9, next year. The work to select the 24 representative players aiming for the long-sought gold medal has begun in earnest. In Nikkan Sports, the reporter in charge predicted the first roaster at this stage. All the staff including Director Inaba met together for the first time in a while. The last staff meeting in Corona is January 21st. The commander exchanged information face-to-face, saying, “There was talk of being remote, but we had them gather today for next year.”
The deadline for submitting the first roaster will be reduced on March 9, next year. This season, coach Inaba couldn’t inspect the official game, but he continued to check the video. We have listed more than 180 people while incorporating the raw information of Kaneko Head and others who belong to the team. The members of Premier12, who won the number one spot in the world in November last year, will use it as a foundation, but will give them a wide range, saying, “I’m feeling well next year.
Major groups also discussed the selection. At present, it is almost impossible to convene in the actual performance, but the majors are also affected by the corona wreck, and it is not possible to predict whether the opening will be possible as usual. “It’s very difficult for MLB. I couldn’t decide as of today, but I have to think about it in the future.” Gather wisdom and select 24 scholars.[Ryutaro Hiroshige]

◆ The reporter in charge of the first roaster forecast was composed by adding the results of this season to the Premier12 and the past convocation history of Inaba Japan. Giants Sugano, Nippon-Ham Arihara, Nishikawa, and Lotte Sawamura, who exercised overseas FA rights, who are applying for posting, have also been left on the list because their departure has not been confirmed at this stage. Hiroshima Morishita, who won the rookie king, would have been difficult to enter the roster if the Olympics were held this year, but proved his outstanding achievements and abilities. Lotte Sasaki, who has a 163km right arm, finished with zero pitches, but Director Inaba recognized him as a representative candidate at the camp this spring immediately after joining the team. After submitting the first roaster, the deadline for submitting the final roasters will be from the end of May to the beginning of June, and after a period of replacement due to breakdowns, the representative players will be finalized in early July.
