[Historical first meeting]Kazuma Okamoto has a passionate encounter with Ichiro! A new era of Rookie of the Month and Japan’s right-handed hitters “Japan’s right-handed hitters are rewriting the history of the major leagues! Kazuma Okamoto of the Blue Jays had a tense first meeting with his idol, the legend Ichiro, and was also selected as Rookie of the Month for June, creating a double feat that is creating a huge buzz in the United States!” Before the game, Okamoto nervously headed up to greet Ichiro. “I saw the signboard every day. I was really nervous,” he said, but he smiled at the warm encouragement from the great pioneer. Immediately after that, his amazing batting ability was recognized and he won the AL Rookie of the Month award! This award follows Munetaka Murakami in May, and is the first time in major league history that a Japanese person has been selected for two consecutive months in the same year. Just as Cubs player Seiya Suzuki, who recently hit his 100th total, vowed, “Me and Kazuma will protect the reputation of Japan’s right-handed hitters,” and the No. 25 player turned the pressure into strength and achieved the ultimate proof. You can’t take your eyes off the young slugger as he inherits the spiritual baton from Mr. Ichiro and opens up a new era on the world’s highest stage!
