Admin’s Note

Oda’s comments about relying on his intuition for his career choices are extremely important for young players. Especially for a talented player like him, it’s essential to think carefully about his future path. As the coach mentioned, considering both American and Japanese professional baseball could open up significant opportunities for Oda.
