Promising players#3

This is Tetuya Matumoto, Yomiuri Giants.


He is 26 years old. His position is center fielder. Look at this picture!


He is small, but because of his speedy playing style and his batting used his legs, he has been in charge of his team's center fielder since last year. In his team, there are a lot of powerful players, so such players as him are precious entity. I think such players will be more and more necessary to win in the future.





His beginning of a professional baseball player was not spectacular. When he joined his team, he had to participate in practice and game as a rearing player. A rearing player is not allowed to participate in the first team's game. However, he continued to endeavor to participate in the game and improve his baseball skills. As a result, he was allowed to participate in the first game two years ago.


Moreover, he was prized the rookie of the year last year. I think his effort and playing style will certainly be a good model for children playing baseball, especially height is small.

Look at another picture! How cool!

His storng point is also his playing style full of guts.

I experienced outer fielder, but such a play needs more guts.

How about today's player? If you are a Giants fan, you should remember him. In the first place, you have already known him, haven't you? Now, he is in farm team because of his leg's wound, but he will be back to first team soon. Do look forward!!
