catcher Yudai Yamamoto, who joined the team in a trade from DeNA, held his introductory press conference at Mizuho PayPay Dome on the 13th. He said that he had rushed to Fukuoka the night before and spent the evening checking out three The Hawks Pacific League games, mainly the Hawks' game. "I thought to myself that I was quick to switch gears, but I didn't watch many The BayStars games. There was no need to follow the team's progress. I thought it would be more important to follow the three Pacific League games and get used to Pacific League 's rhythm as quickly as possible, so I watched those," he said, showing his dedication to gathering information on Pacific League.
