So proud of my team. They never quit even when guys kept getting hurt. I knew they could do it. Most of all, I’m proud of Yuito Mori. He has turned into one of the best relievers in Japan!

I heard today that Settsu-San will retire. I am sad by the news. Ever since I got to Japan I saw his fire and dominance on the mound. I loved being his teammate and also loved getting to go to dinner with him and his beautiful family. I can’t wait to have dinner again in Fukuoka!
Thank you for taking the time to do this. It was important to my family and myself that we express our gratitude to all of you in Fukuoka. Japan will forever be in my heart.
Just wanted to congratulate Mori on such an achievement. I am so proud of him. He has performed like an elite closer. I will be working harder then ever to get my job back bc he is able
348 days since I last got to do this. It’s been a long road but so glad I am back. Still a long way to go. Big first step. Thanks to everyone who supported me along the way.
