In addition, Kazuhisa Ishii, general manager who assigned the right to negotiate, said, "I have the impression that I was the same left pitcher as myself and took a lot of strikeouts with the slider.

He was enthusiastic, saying, "I haven't thrown a single ball in professional baseball yet, so I don't know what will happen, but first I want to aim for the opening 1st army and accumulate winning stars."
