5 uniforms! Returning MVP ‘2 years in Japan’ Highest Income

“I spilled pizza in the stands.”

Gochinda Stadium in Okinawa, Japan, during an exhibition game between the Hanwha Eagles and KT Wiz. In the stands on the third base side was a Japanese fan wearing a Mel Rojas Jr. jersey.

It was not a KT jersey, but a jersey from his time with the Hanshin Tigers. It was marked with the name “ROJAS JR” and his number 24.

The owner of the Rojas jersey is Japanese Hanshin fan Mr. Kitano. He became a “steamed fan” when Rojas joined Hanshin in 2021. He now owns five jerseys.

He was scheduled to travel to Osaka on the 29th, but when he heard that KT would be playing at Kodachinda Stadium, he rushed over.

“I’m going back to Osaka tomorrow (the 29th),” Kitano said, introducing himself as a “big Rojas fan,” “and before I go, I heard that my favorite Rojas team was coming, so I went to see them.

There’s also a funny anecdote. “I remember when I was a rookie, I was so happy when Rojas hit a long ball that I spilled a pizza in the stands. I have fond memories of Rojas commenting on Twitter that he would buy me a pizza,” he says.

Rojas knows this, too. “He’s a fan I used to see every day at Koshien. I used to see him every game day in Nippon Professional Baseball, so it’s nice to see him again. When I was in Japan, I didn’t get to 먹튀검증 meet many fans because of the coronavirus, but I’m glad that passionate fans like Mr. Kitano came to visit, so we can continue our relationship.”

“I really appreciate it and I want to fulfill my promise to buy him a pizza when I get the chance,” Rojas said.

Rojas played four seasons in the KBO before joining KT in 2017. In his career, Rojas batted .322 with 132 home runs, 409 RBIs, and 350 runs scored. In 2020, he won the regular season MVP award after leading the league in home runs (47), RBIs (135), runs scored (116), and slugging percentage (.680).

He was a dominant hitter in the KBO, but he struggled in Japan. Starting in 2021, he played a total of 149 games over two years, batting just 2-for-2 with 17 home runs. He was released after the 2022 season and spent 2023 in the Dominican League.

Although Kitano won’t be seeing Rojas in Hanshin, he wishes him a successful career in Korea. “I’ll be cheering hard for him in Korea,” he said, “so I hope he stays healthy, plays well for the team, and creates situations where many people spill pizza with joy and excitement. I’ll be there to cheer them on when they play Daejeon next month,” he said.
