Orix Yuki Udagawa pitcher (26) opened up about his desire to make a full comeback on March 20, saying that he underwent reconstruction surgery on the medial collateral ligament of his right elbow at a hospital in Yokohama on March 11 and has begun rehabilitation at the team's facility in Maishima, Osaka. He put a lot of effort into his words, saying, "I want to do my best with determination so that I can feel glad that I had the surgery.
He also spoke with Yoshida, who underwent a similar operation and began rehabilitation on the 19th. "Kisei was very positive and I thought he was strong," he said, appearing to be inspired by him. It is generally expected to take more than a year for him to return, and he aims pitch properly exactly one year from now. With a fastball that regularly exceeds 150 km/h and an unstoppable fork as his weapons, the strong-armed pitcher, who also won the world championship at the 2023 WBC, promised, "I'll just keep my spirits up and come back stronger."
