Hello, Giants fans! ⚾
I’m your longtime Yomiuri Giants follower, here to bring you the latest team updates from October 19, 2025 (Sunday).
While the first team has entered a quiet off-season mode, the farm team is on fire in the Phoenix League! Let’s dive into how the young talents are making their mark this autumn. 🔥
🧡 First Team News: Quiet Days, But Passionate Voices from the Veterans
There was no first-team game yesterday, as the Giants continue to wind down after their Climax Series exit.
Still, several veterans shared heartfelt messages that show their determination heading into 2026.
- Masahiro Tanaka (Pitcher)
After achieving his long-awaited 200th career win, Tanaka reflected on his first season back in the Giants uniform: “I’m proud of the milestone, but I still feel frustrated that I couldn’t contribute more at the top level.”
The veteran ace made it clear — he’s aiming for a comeback season next year. 🔥 - Yoshihiro Maru (Outfielder)
Maru expressed his drive to stay competitive: “I’ll keep pushing myself so I won’t fall behind the younger guys.”
As a veteran leader, Maru continues to set the tone for the entire clubhouse. 💪
The off-season may be quiet now, but expect updates soon on contract renewals and autumn workouts as the team prepares for 2026.
🦁 Farm Team Report: Giants Crush Yakult 12–1 in Phoenix League!
Meanwhile, the Giants’ farm team continues to dominate in Miyazaki’s Phoenix League, posting an impressive 12–1 win over the Yakult Swallows yesterday.
Game Result: Giants 12 – 1 Swallows (at Saitobaru Stadium, Miyazaki)
The offense exploded right from the first inning, taking control early and never looking back.
- Reito Nakayama (Infielder)
Nakayama stayed hot with his third straight game with an RBI hit, including two consecutive run-scoring singles in this one.
He’s been one of the standouts in the Phoenix League — and he’s making a strong case for a first-team call-up next season. 🌟 - Kosuke Baba (Pitcher)
Despite modestly saying “It’s still not enough,” Baba’s numbers tell a different story — an ERA of 1.91 and consistent command on the mound.
He’s clearly hungry for a spot in next year’s starting rotation. 🔥
As a team, the Giants are hitting .306 with 18 home runs in the tournament — an impressive sign that the next generation is ready to shine.
🧢 Final Thoughts: A Quiet First Team, a Burning Second Squad
While the first team enjoys some rest, the Phoenix League victories bring excitement to Giants fans everywhere.
The performances of young players like Reito Nakayama and Kosuke Baba give us a glimpse of the club’s bright future.
With autumn training camps and contract negotiations coming up, there’s plenty to look forward to.
How will the Yomiuri Giants evolve next season? Fans can’t help but feel the anticipation building!
