The All Japan University Baseball Federation (JUBF) released an updated listed of candidates for the national team on Sunday. The group is scheduled to attend a three-day mini camp in Hiratsuka, Kanagawa that begins on June 22. A final twenty-four man roster will be set on the final day of camp.
The group will meet again for another camp beginning on July 4. They will play exhibition games against the Seibu Lions, Yakult Swallows, Yokohama Bay Stars, and Industrial League team JR Higashi Nihon.
The JUBF also announced today that they removed Yosuke Shimabukuro from the candidate list because his left elbow has not fully healed. Source: Nikkan Sports 6/18/2012
UPDATE 6/19 @ 3:43pm - Kentaro Yoshinaga (right elbow) and Eigoro Mogi (ankle sprain) were taken off the list today so that they can get treatment on their respective bumps and bruises. There are now forty-seven players on the list (down from the original fifty). Source: Sponichi 6/19/2012
