Admin’s Note

Ohtani’s injury is concerning news for fans, but I hope the manager makes the right decisions. He carries the expectations of being the home run king this season, but health is the most important thing. I hope he takes his time to recover properly and returns when he’s ready. As a fan, I’m eagerly looking forward to his continued success.
