There was a roar in the hall with no bounds, and Tsubakuro raised his hand high and gave a high five.
■ Yakult 7-6 Hiroshima (9th, Jingu)
Maiko Kano, a former volleyball player of Japan, served as the opening pitch for the Yakult-Hiroshima match held at Jingu Stadium on the 9th. She is 185 cm tall and has an outstanding style.
When he appeared in shorts and a uniform with the uniform number “1”, he welcomed Hiroshima’s Dobayashi at bat. He raises his left leg and makes a solid charge, and he swings around and throws a high, splendid no-bounds pitch. He smiled and gave Tsubakuro a high five as he raised his hand.
Even though he is a former athlete, the venue was roaring with no bounds. It was a ball that might reach 100 kilometers. Even on SNS, fans commented, “He’s too cute” and “He’s 185cm tall, so cool.”
