First Japanese-American player selected for Samurai Japan leads team to WBC victory

He became the first Japanese-American to be selected for Samurai Japan, and made a major contribution to becoming world number one in the WBC.

Outfielder Lars Nootvar, who plays for the Cardinals of Major League Baseball and participated in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) held in March as a member of Japan’s national baseball team “Samurai Japan,” held the event at PayPay Dome on the 21st. I participated in a baseball class. With children waiting on the field, he appeared from the third base bench. “Thank you everyone for coming today. I’m really looking forward to playing baseball with you. Above all, I hope you have fun and have a good time before going home,” he said as the baseball lesson began.

Nootbar, the son of an American father and a Japanese mother, is the first person of Japanese descent to represent Japan in the WBC. He is affectionately known as “Tacchan” and participates in all games as “No. 1/mid-level player.” His “pepper mill performance,” in which he twists a pepper mill on the bases, also became very popular, and contributed greatly to Japan’s victory in the world for the first time in three tournaments.

During the season, he played in 117 games and had a batting average of .261, 14 home runs, 46 RBIs, and 111 hits. On the 18th of this month, I watched the first game of the final stage of the climax series between Orix and Lotte at Kyocera Dome. He wore pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s uniform and watched his teammates play, with whom he shared the world No. 1 title.
