Serialization “Why am I a professional baseball player⁉”
The 7th Tadashi Settsu, Part 1
Professional baseball is a world of weak meat and strong food. It is a fiercely competitive society filled with elites who have been touted as child prodigies since childhood, but there is a person who has a unique career that makes me wonder, “Why did this player enter the professional world?” A series that focuses on such baseball players, “Why am I a professional baseball player !?”. Tadashi Settsu (former Softbank) will appear in the 7th edition. He has been on the working team for eight years and has been nominated as a draft, and will deliver the “Story of the Female Fushi” that has gone up to the Sawamura Award.

Did you have a grudge against a scout who wouldn’t admit you?
Despite the sensational question, Tadashi Settsu replied without changing his gentle expression.
“I was wondering why I couldn’t get into the draft. I kept the official game almost perfect and the ERA was much better. Still, I was wondering if there was something missing. rice field”
A very mild-mannered mouth and a thornless look. She seems to be talking to a straightforward office worker, and it’s easy to forget that this person is the Sawamura Award winner.
Settsu has been a professional member of the working team for eight years and has won the Sawamura Award. Moreover, he did not emerge in his eighth year as a member of society, and has been a draft candidate every year since he became an ace in his fourth year at the company. Why did it take so long for such a pitcher to enter the professional world? I would like to look back on those days based on the testimony of the person concerned and the people concerned.
Strikeout or walk
“Don’t throw a great ball”
Fukuie Dai of JT, a powerful corporate team in Miyagi prefecture, was amazed at the high school graduate rookie who practiced pitching with the bullpen on the other side. The orthodox pitching form, the right orthodox school. There was a very promising atmosphere in the future. However, when the game started, the impact was toned down.
“I have poor control and it feels like a strikeout or a walk.”
This was the first impression of Settsu, who had just joined JR East Tohoku.
