Chunichi Dragons to maintain
accord with Cuba
THE Chunichi Dragons would like to maintain their accord with Cuban baseball, affirmed Masahiro Yokoyama, executive director of this team from the Japanese professional league.
“In Japan, there is top-quality training for pitchers, our team would like to receive two Cubans between the age of 18 and 22 to help contribute to baseball in Cuba,” said Yokoyama to Granma International.
The official explained that “Cuban pitchers have strong arms, we would like to train them using our system.” He added that the exchange between Cuba and the Dragons is due to be renewed in 2005, not just with players but also with trainers, training camps and friendly matches.
