Seibu announced on March 31 that it will send Yamato Fuji pitcher, Kaito Noda and Taiyo Sato players to the 2025 Asia Winter Baseball League to be held in Taiwan from November 15 (Sat.) to December 7 (Sun.) for the purpose of player development.

Comments from each player are as follows:

◆ [pitcher Yamato Fuji]

"I want to test how effective my fastball is, and I also want to talk to the opposing players about how I appear to them. Since this is a rare opportunity, I'm also interested in foreign cultures, languages and food, and I want to learn about their way of thinking. I hope to gain confidence through this winter league and get off to a good start next season."

◆[Kaito Noda Noda]

"I'm looking forward to playing in Taiwan, and I want to fully demonstrate my current abilities in both batting and defense. I'll actively interact with players from other teams to find out what I'm lacking. I want to work hard so that when it's over, I can feel that I've grown more than ever before."

◆ [Comment from Taiyo Sato]

"I would like to try out the things I have been working on up until now, such as autumn practice, and communicate as much as possible with players from other teams to deepen my understanding of their intuition and awareness. I would like to return to Japan with solid standards and direction for next season."
