◆Mynavi All-Star Game 2025: Central 7-Pacific 10 (24th, Yokohama)
Nippon-Ham Fighters manager Shinjo was full of praise for Kiyomiya, who won the MVP award with three hit and two RBI. “It feels different from the way you hit during the season. You put the ball on the ground with a bang. You’ve got a lot of variety in your batting, which is really good. I thought you were good in practice, and it carried over into the game. I don’t like to praise you too much, but congratulations on being the MVP,” he said.
He also commented, “When he was on ground, he looked like he belonged in the ranks of an All-Star player. That home run was enough. And it came from a left-handed pitcher. That’s amazing. I think he’s in the best form he’s been in in the last four years.” He was full of praise throughout, saying that the player was in the best form in his fourth year as manager.
