"We are grateful that so many fans came to the press conference for our new players. Our scouts traveled all over the country, and we were able to find players who wanted to join the Fighters. The Fighters are committed to scouting and player development. From now on, Manager Shinjo and CBO Kuriyama will be in charge of developing the players. With the help of our new players, we aim to become the best in Japan."

"First of all, for the next year, I want you to focus on player development, which is the Fighters' goal, and build up your physique, but I also want you to have the mindset that you're going to put up incredible numbers in the farm league after the All-Star break and move up the ranks."

"This year's draft allowed us to spend a full year evaluating the players, and it was almost a perfect draft. I hope the fans will look forward to seeing what kind of players we have this year. As the players develop, they will need the support of not only us but also the fans. We ask for your support and encouragement so that the players can have great success."

"I'm very happy to be joining such a great team. I'm really looking forward to playing baseball under Manager Shinjo, a big star from Fukuoka Prefecture. As a pitcher, my strengths are my calm and situational pitching, and as a batter, my powerful swing is my selling point. I hope you'll continue to support me."

"I will do my best to repay the fans for their support. I want them to see my two-stage pitching motion, which makes the most of my 198cm height. Like Yu Darvish and Shohei Ohtani, I want to become someone whose name is etched into the wall. I want to enjoy myself as I strive to become the best pitcher in Japan with the Fighters."

"I truly feel that the Fighters are a beloved team. I want to take things one step at a time so that I can pitch in a way that excites the fans and have a long baseball career. Thank you for your support."

"I want to become a player who can consistently win in important situations and games. My strength is my fastball with good angle and power. I want to be a player who can overwhelm batters with my pitching and earn the support of the fans. I will work hard to be able to perform well at Escon."

"I think my strength is my unconventional defense, so I hope the fans will enjoy watching me play. There are a lot of tall players around me, but I want to make a big impact because I'm smaller. Escon is the most exciting ballpark I've ever played in my baseball career. I'm really excited to be able to play there."

"Joining the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters is the happiest moment of my life. I want to become an overwhelming pitcher in every aspect. My desired position is closer. I'm incredibly excited to be in this stadium, and I can't wait to get on the mound and showcase my strengths to the fullest at Escon Field."

"My strength is my powerful fastball. I want to build a solid foundation and showcase my powerful fastball. I want the fans to enjoy playing baseball with me and see me pitching with a smile on my face."

"I've been a huge Fighters fan since I was a child, so I'm thrilled to be joining the team. My strength is my fastball. I want to improve even more and show everyone my ability to strike out batters. I aim to be registered as a regular player as soon as possible and become a player that the team needs to become the best in Japan."
