Career

Comments from player Keisei Tominaga

I am very happy to have been given this opportunity to try out for the first pitch.
I don't have much experience with baseball, having only played it a little as a hobby when I was in elementary school. However, when I recently visited Escon Field Hokkaido as a guest broadcaster for the first time, it was just as wonderful a stadium as I had heard. The game I watched there featured impressive pitching to save the day and home runs, and I really felt the joy of baseball. I'm looking forward to visiting again.
I'll do my best to make the first pitch an exciting one, while enjoying the process!
