Admin’s Note

Director Fujikawa’s comments clearly reflect his priority on the safety of the players. When key players like Chikamoto get injured, it can have a significant impact on the entire team. By addressing this issue, I hope the director raises the players’ awareness of safety. Moving forward, I can only wish for a decrease in the number of hit-by-pitches.
