A press conference was held at Mizuho PayPay Dome on the 14th, the day before the final stage of the 2025 Persol Climax Series Pacific League, and Softbank manager Hiroki Kokubo announced that “Moinelo will be the starting pitcher” for Game 1 on the 15th. The left-hander, who won the title for the second consecutive year with ERA of 1.46, also pitched well against Nippon-Ham this season, going 4-1 with ERA of 1.87. Although he has faced them eight times, he calmly stated, “I don’t find it particularly difficult. It’s the same as playing against any other team. I’m prepared both physically and mentally.”
In their final match against the Giants on September 9th (Ace Con), they gave up seven runs in the middle of the sixth inning. Imagawa and Yamagata were both on the offensive, giving up home Home Run. Manager Kokubo specifically mentioned Imagawa and Yamagata, saying, “I’m sure they’ll come out. I want them to keep a tight closer on them.” However, the foreign player calmly replied, “I’m not thinking of anything special for those two. (In a short-term showdown) it depends on the situation of the game, but I imagine most hitter will be working differently than they did during the season.” “For now, as long as I focus on controlling the ball well, I don’t think the other team will be able to do anything special,” he said, exuding confidence.
