金丸はWBCへの出場経験を持つ左腕投手である。
日本の金丸は、7回2安打無失点の好投。「状態が良く球の調子も良かった。ストライクをどんどん投げれば抑えられる自信があった」。23歳とは思えない、貫禄のあるマウンドさばきを見せた。
試合開始直後から出力が高く、安定感もあった。先頭打者は150キロ超の直球で追い込み、低めのスプリットで空振り三振。続く2人はバットの芯を外して内野ゴロに仕留め、一回をわずか9球で終わらせた。
六回に初めて先頭の出塁を許しても落ち着いていた。1死後、相手の意表を突くけん制で一塁走者をアウトに。相手に反撃のきっかけを与えず、二塁すら踏ませない91球の力投だった。
大事な初陣の先発を託された心境を「『任せてください』という気持ちだけだった」と話していた。WBCも経験した左腕は、言葉通りのたくましい投げっぷりで役割を果たした。

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani missed out on winning the MVP award for the fourth consecutive year and fifth time. Crow Armstrong of the Cubs won the MVP with a unanimous vote, and Ohtani had a batting average of .275, 30 home runs, and an OPS of 8.89, but his performance declined due to injuries since August. As a pitcher, he had 8 wins, 2 losses, and an ERA of 1.79.

Samurai Japan's Soyama hit the winning three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, just after the score was tied, leading his team to victory. Soyama, who showed success with two home runs and five RBIs on that day, vowed to make further strides as a candidate to become a regular shortstop.

In the Asian Professional Baseball, Japan created a good opportunity with Shoko's triple in the third inning when the score was 0-1, and Masaki's two-run home run succeeded in turning the game around. There were times when they struggled against the fastballs of South Korea's starting pitcher Kim Jin-wook, but the performance of Shoji and others shined as they achieved results in a short period of time.
