It's been a tough winter for the Boston Red Sox. Coming off another rough season, Red Sox Nation has been up in arms after seemingly little has been done to improve for 2023. However, one bright spot was Boston's signing of Japanese outfielder Masataka Yoshida to a seven-year contract.In an otherwise pedestrian offseason, the Yoshida signing provides a glimmer of hope to the Red Sox faithful. On Thursday, he gave them another reason to smile by doing his introduction in English.Jomboy Media@JomboyMediaMasataka Yoshida prepared an English intro for his press conference 🥹3007209Masataka Yoshida prepared an English intro for his press conference 🥹 https://t.co/lr1iPwp6OuWith agent Scott Boras at his side, Yoshida, who does not speak English, smiled as he made his way through a full minute of the language.It warmed the hearts of many a Red Sox supporter, who have had very little to warm up to as of late.Johnny@Gen1EeveeWelcome to the red sox fam🧦 twitter.com/jomboymedia/st…Jomboy Media@JomboyMediaMasataka Yoshida prepared an English intro for his press conference 🥹2920202Masataka Yoshida prepared an English intro for his press conference 🥹 https://t.co/lr1iPwp6OuWelcome to the red sox fam🧦 twitter.com/jomboymedia/st…Boston Sports Enjoyer@DeversEnjoyer@JomboyMedia Said he’s nervous to speak in English but did a great job.

Love letters came zooming in from across the Twitterverse from Boston to San Diego. Some may have been a bit over the top, but it’s safe to say that for many, it was love at first sight (or listen).Brock Lee@BrockaFlockkaaNot to be dramatic, but I would die for this man. twitter.com/jomboymedia/st…Jomboy Media@JomboyMediaMasataka Yoshida prepared an English intro for his press conference 🥹3399235Masataka Yoshida prepared an English intro for his press conference 🥹 https://t.co/lr1iPwp6OuNot to be dramatic, but I would die for this man. twitter.com/jomboymedia/st…Rooty McBain@rootyten@JomboyMedia Damn, I may have a new player to root for.@JomboyMedia Damn, I may have a new player to root for.Even staunch rival New York Yankees fans could not help but wrap their cyber-arms around Masataka Yoshida as he made his introductory comments. It's a fair bet there won't be nearly as much love when the Boston Red Sox come to Yankee Stadium next season.Baseball Underrated@BaseballUnderr1I really hate that there's such a likeable player on the Red Sox now twitter.com/JomboyMedia/st…Jomboy Media@JomboyMediaMasataka Yoshida prepared an English intro for his press conference 🥹2244Masataka Yoshida prepared an English intro for his press conference 🥹 https://t.co/lr1iPwp6OuI really hate that there's such a likeable player on the Red Sox now twitter.com/JomboyMedia/st…Srechter@Srechter7@JomboyMedia Likable Red Sox players really make the world a confusing and scary place for me1631@JomboyMedia Likable Red Sox players really make the world a confusing and scary place for meMasataka Yoshida brings more than charm to the Boston Red SoxOutfielder Masataka Yoshida #34 of Japan poses during an interview at the OlympicsMasataka Yoshida may have already won over the Boston Red Sox with his auditory skills. Meanwhile, it's his physical gifts that the team hopes to put to good use in 2023 and beyond. For his part, Yoshida brings more than just charm to Fenway Park.The 29-year-old played seven seasons with the Orix Buffaloes of Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball league (NPB). The left-handed slugger batted .327 with 133 home runs and 467 RBI in 762 games with the Buffaloes.A four-time NPB All-Star and two-time Pacific League batting champion, Yoshida led the league in OPS in both 2021 (.992) and 2022 (1.008). He won the 2022 Japan Series title with Orix and helped lead Japan to the gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
