Admin’s Note

The Nippon-Ham Fighters’ grand slam reversal was truly a dramatic turn of events. The outstanding performance of player Manami is a significant strength to the team, and heightens expectations for future games. Particularly, his hit in a high-pressure situation was a testament to his growth as a player. The fact that the team achieved a three-game winning streak will also serve to boost morale. In future games as well, I’m looking forward to seeing Manami’s performance. I’m hoping for further victories for the Nippon-Ham Fighters.
