▼Maki player's comment▼
"I am truly honored to have been given this valuable opportunity. Thank you very much. To be honest, I feel more nervous about going up to mound than I do about standing on the basketball court. In fact, when I watched the Japan Series at Kyocera Dome two years ago, I was overwhelmed and deeply moved by the power of baseball. However, this time I have stopped dreaming about it and will take this opportunity to pitch seriously. I look forward to your continued support."
