As the Padres gear up for a decisive Game 5 in the National League Division Series, pitcher Yu Darvish expressed his enthusiasm and confidence at a press conference held on October 10 (October 11, Japan Time). With the series tied at 2-2, he acknowledged the high expectations from both his teammates and fans, affirming, "I'll pitch in a way that will help the Padres win."

Having already faced the Dodgers in Game 2 of the series, where he held Shohei Ohtani hitless in three at-bats and allowed only three hits and one run over seven innings, Darvish is well aware of the stakes. “I think everyone on the team, including the fans, has high expectations of me,” he noted, underscoring his commitment to deliver a strong performance.

Darvish’s previous outing was instrumental in the Padres’ success, and he understands that the pressure mounts in a win-or-go-home situation. “I’ll be on the mound tomorrow,” he reiterated, hinting at his readiness to tackle the challenge head-on.

As for strategy, Darvish remains adaptable, stating that his game plan will evolve based on the batters he faces. “My style is to think about various things after the game starts,” he explained. He also expressed excitement at the prospect of pitching against friend and fellow Japanese player Yoshinobu Yamamoto, highlighting the camaraderie among Japanese players in MLB.

Darvish concluded by sharing his pride in the rising profile of Japanese baseball, stating, “Players today are more highly regarded than they were in the past… that makes me very happy.”
