is a Japanese Nippon Professional Baseball pitcher for the Hanshin Tigers in Japan's Central League. ==Early baseball career== During his younger years, Shōya's interest in baseball was largely influenced by his father who was an avid fan of the Hanshin Tigers. He started pitching in 3rd grade for the Takefu Blue Wave (little league) under the supervision of his father who was the team's manager, and continued playing for the "Takefu Boys" during junior high. During his first year at Fukui University of Technology & High School, his team represented the prefecture to the Summer Koshien tournament, although he did not appear in any games.〔 He played as the team's ace from the autumn of his 1st year until he graduated. He entered Hosei University in Tokyo and continued pitching for its baseball team where he played with soon-to-be Hanshin teammate Kazuhito Futagami. His team was one of the regulars in the Tokyo Big6 Baseball League, but his game appearances were limited to only 6 innings (4 games) during his entire stay in university. After graduation in 2010, he joined Oji Holdings Corp to play for the industrial leagues. In his 1st year, he was given the Best Pitcher Award during the Aichi Federation President's Cup,〔 and from then onwards, he led his team to the intercity baseball tournament for 3 years straight.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shoya Yamamoto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
