FROM PITCHING TO CATCHING
She switched to catcher in grade 11 of high school after formerly playing as pitcher. "I always wanted to become a catcher, but it was difficult to change my positions due to my team's situation, so I had to wait for the right timing. My signs play a key role in a game, so it feels rewarding." (taisetsujikan.com, 26 Jun 2019)
