Isao Harimoto (80) will appear remotely on TBS TV “Sunday Morning” on the 31st. He commented on pitcher Masahiro Tanaka, who returned to the Japanese baseball world for the first time in eight years.

First of all, “I’m happy. I’m back in the world of Nippon Professional Baseball. But I can’t just raise my hands and welcome like a flattering flattery,” says Harimoto.

“Because I haven’t been in Nippon Professional Baseball for eight years. I wanted to stay in the United States, but the conditions weren’t met, and the Yankees got two pitchers under Tanaka’s (annual salary) conditions. I’m glad that I’m back in the old nest because I raised my hand. However, there are many players in the team and other teams who said, “I shouldn’t have come back,” because my rivals. That’s why I don’t like batters when such a good pitcher comes back. However, I hope he will do his best because he seems to have been there for two years. “

Guest appearance Tomoya Satozaki commented, “I’m struck by Ma’s decision! The Japanese sphere is exciting. I want many Japanese people to have dreams.”
