This is an official NPB-licensed Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters Club knit jersey of Yuki Saitoh from the 2003 season campaign. Yuki Saitoh's tenure with the Nippon Ham Fighters was marked by promise and perseverance. Drafted in 2010, the right-hander brought the team a powerful fastball and a captivating backstory.
Saitoh quickly made an impact in 2011, splitting his season between the starting rotation and bullpen. He boasted a solid 2.69 ERA across 19 games, showcasing his potential as a strikeout artist with 62 Ks in 107 innings. While Saito continued to display flashes of brilliance, injuries and control issues limited his consistency. Though he maintained a decent strikeout rate, his ERA climbed in subsequent seasons.
From their early days in Sapporo, Hokkaido, the Fighters have garnered a loyal following and earned a reputation as one of the most beloved teams in Japanese baseball. Their distinctive red, blue, and silver team colors and relentless spirit have become synonymous with the Fighters' identity.
The Nippon Ham Fighters have achieved significant success numerous times, securing multiple Pacific League championships and clinching the prestigious Japan Series title. Their commitment to excellence on the field and their ability to rise to the occasion during high-pressure games have solidified their place among the elite teams in Japanese baseball history.
The Fighters have nurtured exceptional talent through the years, including notable players Yu Darvish, Shohei Ohtani, Masao Kida, Tsuyoshi Shinjo, Takahito Nomura, Kazuhito Tadano, Hideki Okajima, Yoshinori Tateyama, Kensuke Tanaka, and Kohei Arihara who have had success in the MLB.

Initially incorrect item was delivered but once I reported this they were faultless in their communication and helping to deliver the correct item and return the incorrect one. Both were packaged well and dispatched quickly with clear tracking. Once delivered, the correct item is good quality and exactly as described and pictured and I'm very happy with it. Would buy from this seller again, not least because of their customer service and communication.
