Yusei Kikuchi, a pitcher from Morioka City, joined the Seattle Mariners in Major League Baseball in 2019.
The book was written by a reporter from our newspaper who has been following him for many years and based his extensive interview notes on the unknown efforts and struggles he went through to realize his dream since his days at Hanamaki Higashi High School: trying to make it into the major leagues.
The book contains many photos, including his rapid advance to Koshien and his exploits with the Seibu Lions, where he became Japan's fastest left-handed pitcher, and gives a glimpse into the true face of pitcher Kikuchi, beloved by fans, through testimonies from those involved and his growth trajectory.
