[Reporter Lin Youchen/Reporting from Taipei] The final round of the Yokohama DeNA Climax Series defeated the Hanshin Tigers in a "bottom-up" performance, and Japan is about to face SoftBank.

SoftBank Hawks pitcher Ue Chatani Taiga showed strong fighting spirit as he confirmed that he will play against his old club DeNA in the Japanese competition. When asked about playing against his old club, Kamichaya Taiga said bluntly: "It's really strong. I watched the game and thought it was scary. This year they didn't rely on momentum alone."

In the 2024 Japanese competition, SoftBank also faced Yokohama DeNA, when Kamchatani was still playing for Yokohama. However, due to a decline in form, he was not included in the 40-man roster. After the end of the season, he transferred to SoftBank through the active draft.

Now that he is about to face off against his former teammates in the Japanese competition, Kamchatani can't hide his anticipation: "I know everyone's strength and awesomeness very well. I'm looking forward to this showdown more than any other feeling."

During the regular season this season, Daika Kamchatani switched from reliever to starter and became a member of the team's rotation. In the final round of the climax series of the playoffs, SoftBank advanced in advance with 3 consecutive victories, so he did not get the chance to board, but he continued to be ready to board.

About to face the opportunity to compete in the Japanese competition for the first time in his career, Kamchatani said with confidence: "My physical condition is very good and I am in excellent condition."
