When Lin Guanglai struck out Nishikawa Haruki with three consecutive strikes, the West Japan Television studio erupted with cheers from the two commentators who were fervent supporters of the Softbank Team, followed by endless praise.
"Honestly, no matter how many times you watch that forkball, it's always so beautiful, especially paired with Lin Guanglai's exceptional control skills; every move looks so graceful — Tadahito Iguchi, as a batter, what's your opinion on that forkball?"
Asked such a question, Tadahito Iguchi, who personally experienced the taste of facing Lin Guanglai, shook his head with a wry smile.
