• Evaluation from high school teammate, U.K.

Shimizu was always full of energy. "Class clown" is the best way to describe him. His bat control was incredible—he always had the highest batting average on the team, and he was an all-rounder who could play anywhere in the infield or outfield. The only thing is, his voice is huge and annoying. Also, he would brag about his girlfriend non-stop. He still does. That guy hasn't changed a bit.

• Evaluation from high school teammate, U.M.

First off, Hiroki is an idiot. He doesn't know the meaning of moderation. He was always at the front during distance runs, and he'd stay late after practice until the coach had to yell at him to go home. You could call him a hard worker, but let's just leave it at that. Also, and I don't know if I should say this... but he treasures his girlfriend so much. Even when we asked to see a photo, he'd never show us. I still don't know what she looks like. I guess even an idiot knows how to protect what's important to him.
