Hiroshima breaks five-year habit ahead of NPB draft

Original: ドラフト

The Hiroshima Toyo Carp held their final scouting meeting before the Nippon Professional Baseball draft without publicly announcing their first-round pick, Nikkan Sports reports. It is the first time in five years the club has kept its top choice secret before the draft. The move has drawn attention from fans and reporters speculating about which player Hiroshima intends to target first.

Why now: The NPB draft is imminent and Hiroshima's unusual secrecy about its first-round pick is fueling speculation.
