Nippon-Ham catcher Torai Fushimi declared on the 25th that he will be thoroughly analyzing pitcher staff of Hanshin Tigers, to which he will be transferring next season. "I'm planning to watch every game," he said, revealing his plan to check out every game against Hanshin Tigers this season during the off-season. When asked about his impression of Hanshin Tigers Tigers' pitcher staff, he said, "After all, they are the Central League champions, and their pitcher staff has a reputation for being strong, so I need to understand what makes them good at their pitching in order to be a valuable asset. I want to work on that during the off-season."
Regarding Hanshin Tigers 's Murakami, who was also present, he praised him, saying, "Murakami is a truly amazing pitcher. I get the impression that he's a very versatile pitcher who can do anything, but when I watch videos of him, he also has incredible strength, and I can't help but think it's hard to understand why he's able to win."
On the same day, he attended the award ceremony for the Best Battery Award together with Ito in Tokyo. "It was something we had originally promised each other, so I'm very happy. I'd like to win it again next year, but this happened (with the transfer to Hanshin Tigers), so I personally hope that (Ito) Taikai will win this award again next year," he said with joy.
