Softbank pitcher Roberto Osuna (28) released a comment through the team on the 17th.
Osuna said, “I have always had a strong sense of professionalism towards my work, and I have made the utmost commitment as a player representing the team. If the situation required me to pitch one, two, or even three innings, I was prepared to do whatever it took to ensure a victory for my team and the organization.More than anything, I wanted to make sure the fans felt the best. It’s important.”

He also mentioned the Climax Series (CS) match once morest Lotte (ZOZO Marine) on the 16th. “Yesterday, following getting the last out in the bottom of the 9th inning and returning to the dugout, the game was still tied, so I stood in the dugout and prepared to pitch for the 10th inning just in case. “Then the pitching coach turned around and told me he was done for the day, and then the manager and head coach thanked me as well.”
According to an interview with “Nishi Sports Web OTTO!”, when Osuna was asked to continue pitching in the event of a win following the ninth inning, he told the leaders, “No, thank you.” A complete denial. It appears that there was a misunderstanding between the leadership and Osuna.
