在美日職棒拿下201勝，外號龍捲風的日籍退役強投野茂英雄，今天和日職球星陽岱剛，一起到青棒訓練營授課。日前接受民視獨家專訪，野茂認為，台灣的棒球實力不輸給日本。
詭異的投球姿勢，和犀利無比的指叉球，伴隨著對手的揮棒落空，這就是野茂英雄給大家的印象，曾經在美國大聯盟和日本職棒拿下201的昔日強投，這次來台，抽空看了中日經典棒球對抗賽，對台灣年輕球員的實力給予高度肯定。

“我印象中台灣棒球實力很好，打擊也很強，但我待在這裡的時間太短，所以沒看出兩邊更多的差異，雖然現在不能比較這差異，但台灣的水準是不輸給日本的
野茂英雄在1997年前曾經來台參加棒球訓練營，當年就有好幾位年輕的青棒球員，就讓野茂印象深刻，包括之後也都踏上大聯盟的舞台的王建民和曹錦輝。

“我這次會來台指導棒球訓練營，就希望下一個16年，能看到更多的選手，能往更高的層級邁進”
野茂英雄然已經退休，但不間斷的貢獻所學，今天野茂英雄也和陽岱鋼一起參加為台灣青棒球員舉辦的訓練營，鼓勵他們努力朝著目標勇往邁進。
Hideo Nomo, a retired pitcher who starred in both Japan and the major leagues, is in Taiwan to participate in an elite youth baseball camp. The baseball legend says that young Taiwanese players compare favorably to their counterparts in Japan.
Nomo was known for his distinctive “tornado” style delivery along with a fork ball that often eluded batters. His storied professional career in Japan and the US included a total of 201 wins. His visit to Taiwan coincides with the Japan vs. Taiwan Baseball Challenge, and at the event he gave high marks to Taiwan’s young baseball players.

My initial impression is that Taiwan’s baseball skill is good and the hitting strong. My time here is short, so I can’t tell the difference between the two sides. But I can say that Taiwan’s level of play is not inferior to Japan.
Nomo came to Taiwan in 1997 to participate in a youth baseball camp. He was impressed by a number of promising young players, some of whom would go on to flourish in the major leagues, such as Wang Chien-ming and Tsao Chin-hui.

I came to Taiwan to participate in this baseball camp so that over the next 16 years I can see more players move to the next level.
After retiring from professional baseball, Nomo continues to keep himself involved in the sport. Helping him on this trip is Yang Dai-kang, a Taiwanese player in Japan’s professional leagues. The two are working hard to encourage and train the next generation of star players.
