2023 Fifth World Baseball Classic Japan team team outfielder Lars Nootbaar held a press conference before the quarter final against Italy today (16th), whether he wins or loses today will be his last game in Japan, “I want to thank everyone in Japan and the baseball community for teaching me how special it is to play baseball in Japan.”
“Even though the goal is to go to Miami, I still want to play in Japan.” Lars Nootbaar had 6 hits in 14 at-bats in 4 prelims, with a batting average of 0.429, an on-base percentage of 0.579, and an overall strikeout percentage of 1.008. And he also made great contributions to the Japanese defense team. A number of great defensive skills have made Nootbaar’s popularity in Japan skyrocket.
And after Nootbaar joined the Japanese team, he also produced various chemical elements, especially the act of using the “pepper pot” with the team after hitting the base, which also aroused wide discussion and was emulated by fans. Nootbaar said with a smile, “I heard that sales of pepper powder have improved, and this action allows the team to unite, which is very important. Although I don’t speak Japanese very well, this action is allow me to stand with my teammates and the team.”
At the press conference, when the Japanese media asked Nootbaar about the biggest game in his life, Nootbaar said, “The basketball game in the 5th grade of elementary school”, and then talked about the playoffs with the Philadelphia Phillies when he was in the St Louis Cardinals last year. “Then it’s today’s game against Italy.” He also shouted with confidence, “One more win will make it to Miami. Although the first few games are very important, today’s game is even more important. I really hope we were able to go to Miami. “
