▼Comment from Furuichi▼
"To be honest, it hasn't really sunk in yet. The league has changed, and I think that the things I've built up with pitcher up until now will have to be rebuilt from scratch. That's why I want to communicate carefully again and work hard to win their trust as soon as possible. I'll make sure to show my skills through my play, including my batting."
