pitcher Masaru Fujii, who will start in the game against Hanshin Tigers on the 15th (Rakuten Mobile), has vowed to pitch hard against the team he won against last season. He also started in the interleague game against Hanshin Tigers last year, pitching 7 1/3 innings, giving up 3 hit 1 runs, and win. "I don't have any bad image. I hope I can keep up the good image," he said.
Although it is a Rakuten home game, a large number of Hanshin Tigers fans are expected to visit the stadium. However, he said, "I pitched at Koshien last year, so I don't think it will be as bad as Koshien. (The other team's cheers) are surprisingly not a problem for me, so I want to mistake them for my own cheers and pitch." He will continue to pitch calmly on mound, aiming for a win.
