Lotte's new foreign left fielder and former Orioles player Jose Castillo pitcher revealed on March 30 that he is a fan of Japanese anime. I love Japanese anime," Castillo said, "I like Naruto, and I definitely want to eat ramen. I also like the anime "Jutsu Kaisen," and I want to see Shibuya and Shibuya Station. I also want to visit places where I can feel the history of Japan, such as various Japanese castles and samurai.

In his 69 games in the majors, he has a record of 5 wins, 5 losses, 15 hold, and ERA 4.11. He mainly played as a setup man, and his overall record against the Dodgers' Ohtani hit At Bat 3 at-bats. He faced each other once in three games, and in both of their matches, Ohtani grounded out to first base on breaking ball that missed the center of the bat. In their final matchup on June 4th (June 5th in Japan), he hit a ball to right field, but he didn't allow Ohtani to swing as he wanted.

Saburo also intends to use the "Otani killer" left-hander in relief. "Castillo is tall (198 centimeters) and has a strong straight line from an angle, and his slider is also a weapon. I think it will be difficult to hit him just because he is a big left pitcher.
