Admin’s Note

The recent hit by pitch that affected Yanagita has raised concerns about player health. When a key player like him gets injured, it impacts the entire team. As a fan, I hope to see him recover quickly and return to the field in good form. I also hope that the importance of managing player health continues to be recognized in the future.
