◆NAMICS Fresh All-Star Game 2026: Central League All-Stars 3-7 Pacific League All-Stars (27th, Hard Off Niigata)

Nippon-Ham 's second-round draft pick, outfielder Kane Edokpolo, was selected as MVP. His performance of hit and four RBI led Pacific League Stars to win, and in the post-game interview, he smiled and said, "They created another chance for me in my last at-bat, so I'm glad I was able to get the hit that won the game as the cleanup hitter."

In the first inning, with two outs and a runner on second base, he hit a go-ahead RBI single to right field, and then in the bottom of the ninth inning, with two outs and runners on first and second base, he hit a three-run homer to center field to seal the victory. "I knew I was going to win the MVP. I think switching my focus to just getting a hit after being behind in the count led to this good result." He revealed that he was certain he would win the award after that perfect hit.

He has recorded 15 Home Run the most in the entire farm team, but he has high aspirations, saying, "My baseball academy again, so I'd like to use it for that," showing his intention to invest everything in baseball. The rookie, whose selling point is his power hitting, is aiming for even greater heights.
