Admin’s Note

The dangerous pitch by Hanshin’s Morishita was an incident that made us reflect on the safety of players. Particularly, the way Manager Fujikawa reacted immediately shows that the entire team prioritizes the health of its players. The boos from the crowd should be interpreted not just as support for the players, but also as a call for a better game environment. Moving forward, we hope to see a strict enforcement of rules that prioritize player safety.
