A giant with a height of 200 cm and a weight of 100 kg, he was the first in history to explode a smashing blow and the only helper in the Pacific League, the Triple Crown. Boomer Wells pondered the match against the most memorable veteran pitcher in his decade of playing in Japan.

“It was an old man,” Boomer laughs and thinks of the confrontation with Murata.
“It was the best pitcher in the Pacific League. If I had 25 hits, most of them would have been 6 or more. Other than that, I can’t explain. Murata thinks about his age after surgery. , I have up to 6 times physically, but wouldn’t the Japanese coach drop out when it should be replaced?
