Hello! This is Maitaku!
It's been a long time since I've written an article about the Chiba Lotte Marines (*´∇｀*)
Well, you see...
This time, our Chiba Lotte Marines' pride and joy, the golden rookie Fumiya Nishikawa...
Wow! He has been crowned the Pacific League Rookie of the Year!! 😆
Man...
The race for the Pacific League Rookie of the Year was quite intense this year, so I'm incredibly happy... ☺️
After all, this Rookie of the Year title is something that...
You only have one chance in your entire career to win!!
It's that kind of title, you know 😅
Moreover, looking at the list of past winners...
Pitchers have an overwhelming advantage!!
That's often the case 😅
Furthermore, as I mentioned briefly earlier...
This year was a rare, intense battle!! 💢
...so...
So, I, Maitaku...
To be honest, I thought it would be very difficult for Nishikawa to win Rookie of the Year 😅
Despite such unfavorable circumstances, this good news is truly something to be happy about ✨
By the way, regarding this Rookie of the Year award, the past titleholders from the Chiba Lotte Marines (and their predecessor teams) are...
2014 Ayumu Ishikawa (Lotte Marines)
2012 Naoya Masuda (Lotte Marines)
2005 Yasutomo Kubo (Lotte Marines)
1997 Makoto Kosaka (Lotte Marines)
1974 Masaharu Mitsui (Lotte Orions)
1969 Michiyo Arito (Lotte Orions)
1955 Kihachi Enomoto (Mainichi Orions)
1950 Atsushi Aramaki (Mainichi Orions)
Among these 8 illustrious members, he will now proudly have his name added as the 9th player... ☺️
And he is the first outfielder from the Lotte Marines to win it!!
...so...
Furthermore, he is only the 5th outfielder in Pacific League history to win Rookie of the Year...
I think this is a truly incredible achievement!! 😤
While honoring this wonderful accomplishment,
I hope he becomes a central player for the next generation of the Chiba Lotte Marines and leads the team to a championship! 😆
And what's more,
he even quietly got married this year too! ((((；ﾟДﾟ)))))))
So, to this treasure of the Lotte team who is doing so well both professionally and personally, once again...
Congratulations on winning the Rookie of the Year award! ✨
See you!
