Interesting to see a (Japanese) quote from Yusei Kikuchi (one of Rintaro’s mentors/seniors) that, he wanted Rintaro to listen to his own voice, because when he was in a similar position (choosing bretween an unprecedented MLB or traditional NPB path), he not so much made his own decision, as he did what others expected him to do. The tone was tinged with regret. Read into it what you will. I will shut up for today… I think …. :)
