ドラフト「１位だからと言ってという話」

自分は全く運動神経に恵まれなくて運動部もレギュラーになったことはない。そんな自分が批判するのは間違っている。ただ野球だけしてきてドラフトで１位指名されてからの失速よ。
A talent to perform well when playing baseball or football was absent from my physical construction, naturally, I couldn’t be a starting member of the team, so I gave up continuing to play in the sports’ field and I made it a rule to work well in the academic field.
So it is not right for me to criticize a certain baseball player picked up in the first round at the draft meeting from Hiroshima in 2023.
He cannot perform well in the Western League in 2024.

事情があるにしても入団した後に発覚したのかは謎だ。大学を卒業してないとかあり得ない。ドラフトは競合したらくじ引きだから運任せだ。だからこそ引き当てた監督は大はしゃぎ。
He might have a few complicated affairs, but his faults were exposed to the public after he participated in the team, which has been an unprecedented mystery.
He hasn’t graduated from the university, in short, he is still a university student, which is impossible.
The draft meeting is at the mercy of God or Goddess because a lottery determines the winner with the right to capture a promising young player when a few teams appoint him.
A winner coach’s or director’s emotion never fail to explode in front of numerous audiences when he obtain only one right to gain him, we remember.

にも関わらずだ。卒業できてないなんて試合で使えない。肩の痛みを隠してドラフト１位で指名されて入団して痛みが再発してとかよりはマシなのか。期待してたけど今年は無理だなあ。
Despite this, he hasn’t graduated yet, in short, he cannot play in the Central League, but sometimes a player with a keen pain in his shoulder is picked up in the first round at the draft meeting, who naturally keep his injury secret, after all, he leaves the professional business without any accomplishments or achievements.
Hiroshima’s pitcher isn’t inferior to this example, is he ?
Almost all supporters expected that he would perform well against several opponent baseball teams in 2025.

ドラフト６位でプロの世界に入ってメジャーに行くのもいる。極端なのは育成上がりでアメリカに行くピッチャーもいる。彼には２年目から頑張って何とか新人王になって欲しいよねえ。
A certain player entered NPB aged 22, and he made efforts to become the home run leader in 2005, when he was 28 years old, in fact, he was picked up in the 6th round at the draft meeting in 1998, at present, he has been the most capable director in Hiroshima.
At the draft meeting,  not a few players are picked up as the nurture, who isn’t the official appointed player, but several of them sometimes bloom their talents to enter MLB, so the round order doesn’t seem to make sense.
We wish that the pitcher described above would bloom his talent and perform well in the Mazda Stadium in 2025, which is Hiroshima citizens’ vital expectations.
