pitcher：Hiromi Ito pitcher（Hokkaido Nippon-Ham）

catcher: Player Kenya Wakatsuki (Orix Buffaloes)
Q. What are your honest thoughts on being selected?
A. My results this season haven't been very strong, so I wonder if I'm really okay with it? That's my honest impression.

Q. What kind of play did you play at the All-Star Game?
A. Since the players have chosen each other, I want to hit home run.

Q. What is your impression of the All-Star event?
A. I think you can communicate with top-class players and have 'power versus strength' battles that you can't do in a regular season.

Q. Which players are you looking forward to facing each other?
A. I'm Kihada pitcher. I couldn't get to the plate during the season, so this time I'd like to try stepping up.

Q. Which players are you looking forward to interacting with?
A. Reyes is the same age, so I'd like to ask about his batting. As a catcher, I want to receive various pitcher balls and make use of them in the second half.

Q. Holding the second game in Toyama also serves as a support for reconstruction.
A. I hope to play in a way that energizes everyone in Hokuriku.

Q. What kind of side of you would like to show your fans?
A. If I can hit again this year, it will be my second consecutive home run, so I want to do my best to get one again this year.

first baseman: Nevin (Saitama Seibu Lions) *First appearance
"I'm very happy that I was selected through player voting, and that I have been recognized by the respected players I've faced so far. I watched last year's All-Star on TV, and not only did I see top players facing each other, but I was also impressed by how much fun the players were playing. I'm also looking forward to interacting with players I don't usually get to talk to, as well as Central League players. It's a special stage different from regular season, but I want to play with the fun and do my best to build a good momentum into the second half."

second baseman: Natsuo Takizawa (Saitama Seibu Lions) *Second time in two consecutive years, first time in player voting
"I am very honored to have been selected by player vote. Last year, since it was my first appearance, I was nervous and didn't remember much of my own play. This year, I want to make use of last year's experience and play with full strength. This stage gathers outstanding players who represent the baseball world, so I will absorb a lot and do my best to show performances that fans can enjoy."

third baseman: Player Ryoya Kurihara (Fukuoka Softbank)

short stop: Itsuki Murabayashi (Tohoku Rakuten Eagles) *Second time in two consecutive years
"I'm very happy and honored that you were selected for the All-Star Game through player voting. Personally, I'm very happy that you were chosen by vote from an active player. (At the All-Star Game) I want to purely enjoy baseball, so I hope fans can see how much fun they are doing."

Q. How do you feel about being selected through the player vote?
A. We are very happy about that.

Q. What are you looking forward to at this year's All-Star Game?
A. I hope the fan vote winners do their best, and I want to relax on the bench and support them from behind the scenes (laughs). (The opponent is pitcher representing Central League) I want to stand at the plate as many times as possible and experience good pitches.
