Softbank's Yu Yamamoto delivers his bravery and becomes the best in Japan in a new world - Professional Baseball Japan Series

He showed his bravery to the fans at the familiar Yokohama Stadium. Yu Yamamoto, who was traded from DeNA to Softbank in May of this year, made his presence felt in his first appearance in the Japan Series.

2nd inning, 1 out, no runners. After receiving applause from the fans, he entered the at-bat and threw his first pitch to the right field. In the 7th inning, tied 0-0, he hit a double down the left field line with no outs on first base, increasing his chances and leading to the first run.

Due to a fracture in his left wrist in June, he was unable to participate in the exchange game against his former team. ``Yokohama Stadium is where I often play, so I'm looking forward to it,'' he said, looking forward to the performance. Even after the transfer, he still goes out to eat with his former teammate Maki and others, but ``I don't have any deep feelings towards (my old club).'' A match is a match.

In the 2024 Japan Series, where DeNA defeated Softbank, he was away from the team after breaking his right arm. The 28-year-old is enthusiastic, saying, ``I had a good experience.This year I will fight until the end.'' In the Climax Series, the starting defenseman, wearing a mask, contributed with his bat in all games.
