[ChunichiMichaelChavisjoins!】Pleasegiveusplentyofwordsafterjoiningtheteamanddebutinginthesecondteam
Chunichi's 42 major hitter right-handed infielder Michael Chavis (29) has joined. He is a utility player who can protect infielders other than shortstops. Jason Bossler (31), who is currently active as No. 5 and first baseman, is a teammate in the Mariners 3A last season. Hearing the advice of Professor Bossler, he tries to blend in with the team as soon as possible. The cheerful characters seem to cheer up the team too. We will be holding a press conference on July 24th and an interview with him after the match against SoftBank, the second team, who made his debut as a practical team in the second team, on July 26th.

– Joined Chunichi. How do you feel now?
I'm really excited now. When I was in the US, I always thought I might get a visa soon, but I'm happy to be able to come to Japan like this, and I would like to go to the field as soon as possible and interact with my teammates.
– Regarding playing in Japan
I'm really happy, and I'm really happy to have the opportunity to play for NPB. I've been looking for some opportunities to play in Japan up until now, but it wasn't possible, and I'm really looking forward to it because I got the opportunity this time, and I'd like to learn more about not only baseball but also culture.
-And are you interested in Japanese baseball?
People who have experienced Japanese baseball, and players who have come to the United States from Japan, all say great things and good things about Japanese baseball, and I was also interested in that aspect.
-Advertisement points
I think my biggest strength is being able to enjoy playing baseball. Until now, there have been some teammates who viewed baseball as a job, but there have been times when those people have suffered quite a bit. After all, I really want to enjoy playing baseball and get on the ground with a new mind every day and present a new self every day.
-What role does the Dragons play?
I really want to contribute to the victory. I like winning and hate losing, so I want to make sure I play well and contribute to the team's victory.
