“I hold onto the moment. ~Yusei Kikuchi teaches you the power to keep going~” Akira is a young player in the second team who is sluggish with a batting average of .182. While the players around him were called up to the first team one after another, he was the only one left behind. In the depths of despair, I encountered the words of Major League pitcher Yusei Kikuchi. “In baseball, you don’t get better gradually. You get better all of a sudden.” Effort never disappoints — but few people know the true meaning of effort. Pitcher Kikuchi talks about his philosophy of “1000 hits to get you started.” It was not just a journey to complete the journey, but a journey that continued in search of a momentary encounter that would change one’s destiny. His hands are bleeding, his body is about to collapse, but he keeps swinging the bat. And then comes the moment when the world bursts forth… “That moment will definitely come for everyone.” #Yusei Kikuchi #WBC #Effort #Baseball
