Each player's performance has shone through in actual games, and the fierce competition starting line-up continues. There are some players who I think should be in starting line-up for the opening game, but I will decide based on their future performance, including the opening pitcher. By getting all the fans to participate in this campaign, I hope to build momentum for the opening game. Together with all the fans, I will fight for the championship.
