The postponed Kansai University vs. Kinki University game was held on the 13th, a pivotal matchup in the Kansai Student Baseball Spring League as both teams held three points, with the winner taking a significant step toward the championship.
Kinki University started REN Miyahara (4th year, Sutoku) on the mound, while Kansai University countered with YUTO Yonezawa (4th year, Kanazawa). The showdown between top draft prospects attracted scouts from all 12 NPB teams behind the net.
In an extraordinary move, the Yomiuri Giants dispatched 11 personnel, including scouting director YUHO Mizuno and senior advisor HIROYOSHI Nagano, to observe the game.
