Representative Mihara Last night, after the chances of winning the Seregi became nil, Director Ramirez asked me to end his position as director this year, so with the owner and the president. We are pleased to inform you that we have contacted you and officially accept you as a company.

Ramírez: I think we had a great season from the beginning with all the things we needed to win, and we had a great camp in Okinawa this year, and I think the players did well. I will. Looking at the numbers in particular, the team’s hit rate is the highest in the league. The situation is the first in 12 teams, the situation in which teammates compete for the best hitter, and the number of home runs is also the first giant and Thailand. The defense rate is also fourth, but I think the number itself was very good.

In terms of numbers, everyone did very well and I was able to leave good numbers, but unfortunately on yesterday’s stage I couldn’t fulfill my dream of winning. Despite all the hard work, I thought I had to take responsibility for the consequences, so yesterday I spoke with Mihara and decided to quit.

I have been a manager for 5 years and as everyone knows my style is always 80% data and statistics and 20% feelings and intuition. I have made decisions, but I do not regret anything, I have had a great team and I have made decisions the way I think, and I do not regret it.

As I always think, this city of Yokohama is one of the most wonderful and number one cities in Japan, and I think the fans there are also the number one fans in Japan. I am truly grateful for your support and support.

And I would like to express my sincere thanks to the media. I thank all of you for your patience and understanding.

Finally, I would like to thank the owner of Minamiba. Thank you for truly believing in me and giving me this opportunity. I started this job with my wife and children at the beginning, but now I have three children. I am grateful to my family for giving me this opportunity, and I am also grateful to President Okamura and Representative Mihara. Thank you very much.
