Don: Satoshi, you like watching baseball games, don’t you?

Satoshi: Yes, I love baseball. I watch games almost every weekend.

Don: I’m really impressed with Japanese players in Major League Baseball.

Satoshi: Me too! Shohei Ohtani is amazing. He’s both a pitcher and a batter!

Don: That’s right! It’s rare to see someone so talented.

Satoshi: He is very special. He started playing baseball when he was a little boy.

Don: Do many kids in Japan play baseball from a young age?

Satoshi: Yes, baseball is very popular in Japan. Many kids dream of becoming pro players.

Don: I see. That explains why Japanese players are so skilled.

Satoshi: Also, they practice a lot. Japanese players train very hard every day.

Don: I’ve heard that. Hard work really pays off.

Satoshi: Yes, many American players are surprised by their work ethic.

Don: Another thing I noticed is that they work well with teammates.

Satoshi: That’s true. Teamwork is very important in Japanese baseball culture.

Don: I respect that. It’s not only about being good, but also about helping the team.

Satoshi: Exactly. That’s one reason why they do well in American teams, too.

Don: Now I really want to see a game with Japanese players.

Satoshi: Let’s go watch one next weekend! I’ll check the schedule.
