The cover and lead interview feature pitcher Tomohisa Ozeki. The left-handed pitcher achieved a career-high 13 wins in the 2025 season and was awarded his first title, the Best Winning Percentage Pitcher Award. The team aims for a third consecutive league championship and a second consecutive Japan Series title in the 2026 season, but what are his personal "goals"...!? He reflects on the 2025 season and shares his enthusiasm for the 2026 season. Also, this issue features Ozeki in the popular "Baseball Kids" segment of "Monthly Hawks." We delve into the roots of the left-hander with photos from his childhood and stories from his parents. The "Hawks Chikugo Autumn Training 2025," held from October 30th (Thursday) to November 14th (Friday), is also featured. The interviews include two players: Yoshiyasu Sasakawa and Yuto Akihiro, both promising slugger candidates who will be "year men" in 2026. In addition, we asked 17 young Hawks players about their "My Theme for the Offseason." They are full of energy as they prepare to make their mark at the 2026 spring training camp! The issue also looks back at the championship parade and Fan Festival 2025 "Hit, Sing, Dance! Baritaka All-Star Game Presented by Fanatics," held on November 24th (Monday, holiday), with a focus on photos. With gratitude to the fans who supported them throughout the year. Pay attention to the smiling faces of the players! *Calendar not included as an appendix. Thank you for reading.
