1年目に日本選手権で準優勝した時から、社員の方々に名前を覚えて頂いて出社する毎に声を掛けて頂きました。With the 2024 season, I would like to introduce the players who will be leaving the Sega Sammy baseball team.
Thank you very much for all the support over the long 11 years.
I believe that being able to play this long was thanks to the company's support and everyone who cheered for me.
Since the first year when I was the runner-up in the Japan Championship, I was greeted by employees who remembered my name each time I came to work.
I remember feeling that they had an interest in the baseball team at that time.
11 years filled with joy at times, tears at times, and suffering.
I am proud to have played baseball with many generations.
I will work hard to apply the experiences gained through baseball to the next stage.
For 11 years,
Thank you very much.
Although it was a short period of 4 years, being supported by many people and standing on the mound at Tokyo Dome and being able to compete with everyone is a treasure.
When we reached the BEST 4, I thought for a moment that we might become "the best in Japan."
In the end, it stopped at the BEST 4, but the fact that we advanced to the urban competition after winning in 18 extra innings, and that we fought together backed by Japan's best cheering squad,
lacking further chances after falling three ranks since the representative decision match, it was a team that could win against any opponent as long as we enjoyed the game and enjoyed baseball.
I am really glad to have played baseball at Sega Sammy.
In 2021, due to COVID-19, there was only one position available, and I can only express my gratitude for being selected.
It has been a four-year period filled with various experiences. This year, I decided to retire and pursue a new path.
I will continue to challenge myself throughout life.
Thank you truly for these four years.
I have been taken care of by the Sega Sammy baseball team for three years.
I am truly grateful to have been able to play baseball in the Sega Sammy baseball team, experiencing many opportunities including two major tournaments so far.
There were more challenges and injuries than successes, but what I want to carry into my future working life is that I persevered and worked through it until the end.
I would like to sincerely thank all the fans and staff members who always supported and cheered for our baseball team's activities.
Thank you for the immense support.
There were many happy and painful moments, but thanks to the company and the people in the Region who supported me, it was a fulfilling two years.
I was able to immerse myself in baseball in a wonderful environment, and I will be able to step into the world of professional baseball from 2025.
From the first year with the Tokyo Yakult Swallows, aim to be a player who can provide energy to those who support me.
Thank you for your support over the past two years.
