When Seiya Suzuki got off the plane in Chicago on Monday, he headed to Wrigley Field to hit. He’d just returned from Japan, where he and his wife, Airi Hatakeyama, celebrated the birth of their first child.
“So that tells you everything about his work ethic and who he is,” said Cubs manager David Ross, who recounted Suzuki’s travel schedule the next day. “He’s a really hard worker and loves his craft. Congratulations to him and Airi-san.”
