Watch out Shohei, young switch-hitter, switch-pitcher on the rise

Video footage taken March 5 in Tokyo’s Ota Ward shows young baseball sensation Yuto Hara, 11, polishing his pitching form and practicing his batting as he aims to overtake his adult heroes such as Shohei Ohtani. The fifth-year primary school student can throw from both sides, having learned to throw with his left arm during an injury to his right, and can send pitches faster than 100 kilometers per hour. Batting from both sides of the plate is also no problem for the youngster. (Takaya Kobayashi and Ryujiro Komatsu)
