Coach Takahashi’s comments<\/h3>\n

“Kazuya has got the materials to be a professional baseball player and being the captain of Waseda Baseball Club, I strongly believe he is extremely self-motivated and would reach greater highs if he continues to work at it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
