It is a dramatic debut. Lotte Sawamura Takuichi (32), who passed the giant, suddenly showed a hard ball in Japan Ham’s (ZOZO Marine) match on the first day of joining the team on the 8th. In the sixth inning, he stepped onto the table in third place and made a powerful three-way hit. He made a strong impression on “Lotte Sawamura.” Say goodbye to the old nest at 9 a.m., attend the registration meeting, and climb the new world for the first time in a strong sea wind. At the end of a long day, he shared the joy of winning five games in a row with his new friends. Now to the reverse victory. Too reliable a man has arrived.

ZOZO Marine covered in bird skin. 7:45 pm. The ad for “Pitcher, Sawamura” adds applause and evokes a shout of joy. “I will never forget the cheers when my name was called.” The excitement and warmth of the stadium’s enthusiasm peaked at 94.5 decibels this season. It instantly surpassed the 91 decibel limit in any thrilling scene.

149 km, 153 km. The continuous pressure is followed by a scream. It also eliminates anxious ball control difficulty. Adjust the count with a straight ball and finally drop, drop, drop, scream. In the division in the second half of the 140 km range, Watanabe, Daejeon and Biyanueva shook three times in a row. “I’m glad I was able to pass it to the pitcher behind me with zero,” said Sawamura, who returned to the bench to a standing ovation. Even director Iguchi was excited that “the atmosphere of the stadium has completely changed.”

The turning point in life comes suddenly. I was at Giants Stadium 12 hours ago. “I think you gave me a lot of love,” he said. The era of the giants with mountains and valleys is over. Two years ago, I promised when my respected Utsumi moved to Seibu. “If I go, please support the pitchers.” Can’t say it lived up to expectations. He decided to transfer himself and apologized over the phone saying, “I couldn’t keep my promise.”

The kind words returned. “It will be a good experience, so do your best in a new place.” Baseball is a team sport. I engraved it in my heart and came. I hope, “First of all, I want to mix with Lotte.”

I will never forget my gratitude wherever it is. “I’m not the only one. I don’t think I can waste a minute and a second a day for the people who support me.” At 8:54 pm 5 wins in a row were decided and I am happy to have an aerial touch with new friends. The uniform number is 57. Over time, he borrowed Fukushima uniform number 106 and released it. “Nice to meet you, I’m Sawamura.” Marin was also engulfed in loud and warm applause from the first voice on the stage.[Mahito Kaneko, Kengo Kubo]
