A lie?” (Manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo) “I would like to go with pitcher Ito.” Q. Is pitcher Ito in the WBC? (Director Tsuyoshi Shinjo) “I was impressed. The moment Ito-kun came back and entered the director’s office, he looked a little like, “Are you okay with me?” But he said, “No, I’ll go with you.” I want the two of us to give everything we’ve created up to this point in the opening match. I’m sure there will be some regrets, so I’m looking forward to it. I won’t know until the end of this year, but I want to come out on top.” Pitcher Ito, who will be starting in the first game that will tell the story of the season, said, “It was my first day back home and I wasn’t mentally recovered yet, so I went into the director’s office not feeling confident, but the coach trusted me.That helped me change my mind, so I’m grateful.We have no choice but to win.I’m just going to play baseball for the Fighters as usual.”Ito is aiming to win the Pacific League for the first time in 10 years and become No. 1 in Japan.
