Bobby Darbeck

Yomiuri Giants pitcher Bobby Darbeck is facing his first postseason in Japan, with the Climax Series first stage against DeNA beginning on the 10th. He says he wants to stay with the team next season and is keeping a calm mindset for the big games. Former player Tao has voiced concern about Darbeck's recent condition, saying he grew worried after watching four of his at-bats, adding tension to his playoff debut.
