[Softbank Yanagimachi and others]Congratulations! Interleague games MVP! What is the amazing hit maker that my mentor talks about?
The ninth interleague race victory in six years since 2019 was impossible without this man. He is outfielder Yanagimachi and others (28). He was the third batter in all 18 games and recorded a batting average of .397 in interleague games. He was the first batter to be the top batter and won the Best Player Award (MVP). Okubo Hideaki (55), a mentor from Keio University and former director, revealed the origins of such a hit maker. We'll take a look at Yanagimachi's batting skills, one of the best among all his students in history, and his true self as a baseball player.

Among his past students, Yanagimachi's batting sense was impressive.
Former Keio University coach Okubo looks back on that time.
“It seemed like my contact strength and contact strength were missing.”
Okubo, a former Kintetsu player, served as manager of Keio University from 2015 to the fall of 2019, coaching four years of university in Yanagimachi.
