The NPB draft took place today and Chunichi selected pitcher Koji Fukutani out of Keio University with their first pick. They were the only team to select him in the first round and so, unlike last year, no lottery was necessary. Chunichi's other picks are below:
2nd - Tatsuro Hamada, Pitcher, Aikodai Meiden H.S.
3rd - Takero Furumoto, OF, Ryukoku University
4th - Shota Sugiyama, C/1B, Waseda University
5th - Hayato Mizowaki, IF, Kyushu Gakuin H.S.
6th - Koshi Inoue, Pitcher, City Light Okayama (IL)
7th - Shunta Wakamatsu, Pitcher, Yusei H.S.
For a list of all the picks and some insight on some of the players chosen, especially the college ones, see Marinerds, etc.
The Japanese Baseball Cards blog also has a post on the draft which shows cards for Koji Fukutani and Shota Sugiyama.
