The climax series of the Central League ended today. DeNA, ranked third in the regular season, has made it all the way from the first round series and advanced to the Japanese competition with an undefeated 6-game winning streak. This is also the team’s second time to win a ticket to the Japanese competition since 2024. The Most Outstanding Player (MVP) of the climactic series was selected by infielder Hidego Maki.

Hidego Maki started at second base and at second base in all six games of the Climax Series. During the period, he was on full fire, hitting a total of four home runs.

Before the climax of the series, director Yokohama Aikawa Ryoji named Maki as a key figure in the line, and he lived up to his trust and shouldered this responsibility.

After defeating Hanshin today, Maki said in a joint interview with the media at a hotel in Hyogo Prefecture: "We no longer just rely on momentum to win, but have gradually become a team that can do what is taken for granted. This is really the advantage of the current Bay Stars team."

Makoto, who is a key figure in the team's record, expressed confidence in whether he can repeat the "lower victory over Japan's No. 1" and once again win the first place in Japan with a low ranking in the regular season. Mak said: "(SoftBank) has almost no weaknesses whether it is a pitcher or a fielder. However, I think we have also left an impression on our opponents that it is difficult to deal with in this short-term decisive battle."
