"Being able to come here means every one of you are currently the best players in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball..." Kohkubo Yuuki looked at the 28 players standing before him, ready for action, with a satisfied smile on his face. "This match against the Major League Baseball All-Star team is quite a challenge for everyone..."
He paused for a moment, scanning the crowd for Lin Guanglai, Ohtani Shohei, and others before continuing: "Of course, it's also quite an opportunity!"
"It's been 8 years since the last Japan-US exchange game, and this year's restart is partly due to considerations for the Premier12 and the WBC. There will definitely be many MLB scouts present—this is your chance to showcase yourselves to the world!"
