2012 opening pitcher presents “Director’s first win”
Nippon-Ham Fighter Yuki Saito, who will retire from active duty only this season, played a retirement match against Orix at his home base on the 17th. He gave one batter a walk and got off the mound with a smile, but when he returned to the third base bench and was struck by Kuriyama, he spilled a big tear. Fans also said, “I’m impressed,” and “I was crying when I was asked by Director Kuriyama to see the tears overflowing all at once.”
In his 11th year as a professional, he pitched 7 pitches against Fukuda for the 89th pitch, and the result was walks. With applause from the fans, I got off the mound with a smile. However, when I returned to the bench and exchanged a goo touch with Director Kuriyama, I couldn’t stop the overflowing things. He was hung up with words, and at the end he was struck on his shoulder and struck, and he cried with his face on the towel.
In 2012, it was Saito, who was in his second year at the time, who was entrusted with the opening pitcher by the inaugurated director Kuriyama and presented the first white star. Two people take off their uniforms in the same year as time goes by. The official YouTube channel of Parsol Pacific League TV introduces “the last 7 pitches” and the brave figure of Saito after pitching as “Yuki Saito’s last pitching is” smiles and tears “”. “I think there was a lot of effort that only those who had a hard time with Yuki Saito and Director Kuriyama could understand.” It seems that there were many fans who were struck by the words, “It’s amazing that Kuriyama retired” and “It’s a good relationship.”
