Teisho Hasegawa, silver medalist in men's snowboard slopestyle at the Milan Cortina Olympics, threw the ceremonial first pitch. baseball Despite having no experience, he delivered a brilliant no-bounce pitch from his left arm. "I didn't make it to the center... I guess 90 points," he said with a smile.

He is a promising prospect known for his highly difficult "double rodeo 1260" in the snowy mountains. "The important thing is to enjoy it without getting injured. If you do that, the path to the Olympics will naturally follow," he said, setting his sights on the 2030 French Alps Games.
