#Kikuchi Yusei, #Otani Shohei, #Yamamoto Yushin, #Imanaga Shota, #Angels, “Kikuchi Yusei will be the opening pitcher for the Angels! A great achievement in which three Japanese players will play a major role, the first time ever.” Hello everyone! Today we bring you big news from the Angels. Pitcher Kikuchi Yusei has been selected as his first opening pitcher! This is a special moment for the Angels and for the Japanese baseball world. After transferring from the Astros, pitcher Kikuchi is taking on a new challenge with the Angels this season. He will be playing this major role in his seventh year in the Major Leagues. The opening match will be held on March 27th (28th Japan time) against the White Sox, the enemy team. And what’s noteworthy is the first time that pitcher Kikuchi has served as the opening pitcher for the Angels since Otani Shohei. Otani is currently playing for the Dodgers, but he will be a major role in inheriting his successor. Furthermore, Dodgers pitcher Yamamoto Yunobu and Cubs pitcher Imanaga Shota are also scheduled to appear in this year’s opening game. This could be the first time in history that a Japanese player will be the opening pitcher in the same season! Well, here’s a question for you all! What do you think about pitcher Kikuchi being the opening pitcher? There are also high expectations for the success of other Japanese players, but who are you paying attention to? Please let me know in the comments! In this way, pitcher Kikuchi’s challenge is exciting news for us too. I’m looking forward to the upcoming season!
