Regarding today's starting pitcher, Higashi: Yokohama DeNA BayStars player Yuta Yamamoto "It really hit me hard that I won't be able to form a battery with Higashi-san anymore. Since I'm a starting pitcher, I was hesitant to contact him, but I spoke to him earlier and he told me to 'do my best,' so I'll do my best." Fans expressed surprise and regret at the sudden departure. Fans "I'm shocked because I liked him." "I hope he'll become a free agent and come back." "My child was collecting Yuta's merchandise, so I really didn't want a popular player to be traded." "It was a shock; I wondered why they'd take away their starting catcher.
