What is Yuki Saito’s smart behavior when he finally retires (Jiji Press Photo)?
Nippon Ham has announced that it will retire on October 3rd for this season only.Yuki Saito(33) pitched in the final round of Eastern. The man, who suffered from a series of injuries, struck out his right arm while shedding tears on the mound, and struck out one batter.After pitching, infielders gathered on the mound and tearsKotaro KiyomiyaWhen I exchanged hugs, the cheers of the spectators flew around the stadium.
Media personnel who have been interviewing Saito for 11 years as professionals also rushed to this retirement pitch in private. One of the former reporters talks.
“Saito was a player that the reporter liked. Feel free to invite the reporter to” let’s go for dinner tonight. ” He responded to the interview without making an unpleasant face, saying, “It’s a job, so it can’t be helped.” Because he even responds to direct interviews with weekly magazines (laughs). I heard you were talking
Saito held a retirement interview on October 1st, two days ago, at a farm facility in Kamagaya. However, when Koshien was boiled with a “handkerchief fever” and the media scrum at the time of joining the team, there was no shadow to see, and it was a small interview. Media officials who participated in the press conference talk.
“On this day, Mako’s marriage announcement and Yokozuna Hakuho’s retirement interview did not attract much attention from the media. The first army was a match in Hokkaido, and only some of them participated in the interview. Only the clerk and the Yugun reporter. The clerk was also at the beginning of Saito’s joining,Shohei OhtaniWhen I was there, each company had multiple people, but due to the slump in the team, each company had almost one person. It was a lonely interview with more than 10 interviewees. “(Same as above)
Even so, the scene was surrounded by Saito’s “smart measure” and a homely atmosphere.
“Before Saito’s appearance, reporters were talking about hard work, saying,’I did my best.’ Some of them said,’I should have done more coverage,'” as I thought in the last two years. Some reporters regret not being able to do it.
In fact, before and after the conference, Saito contacted the reporter who was exchanging contact information. Many players contact their teachers and alumni, but few players contact reporters. I can’t say that I was active as a compliment as a professional, but I think it was because of this attitude that I was loved by reporters. It seems that I’m swaying about how to move in the future (laughs) “(same as above)
The star of Koshien who took off his uniform unfortunately. I would like to expect success in the new world.
