– The feeling is really enthusiastic, and I am very motivated to go to a new environment. It’s like feeling like you haven’t gotten anything close to what you can get, Jymy’s new locker commented in the Sotkamola club’s press release.
– The feeling is that the best years are definitely ahead of me, Keski-Petäjä continues.
Sotkamo Jymy’s game director Iiro Haimin according to Keski-Petäjä’s characteristics fit the requirements of today’s baseball.
– Fast passing combined with good physics will definitely give us exactly what we are looking for in terms of gameplay. Miika has been playing at a good level for several years and now gets to measure his own level in a top team, says Haimi in the press release.
– Miika’s qualities, combined with an already good outfield, will be our cornerstone in the next season’s team as well, the game director continues.
Sotkamon’s Jymy won the 21st men’s baseball Finnish championship in the club’s history this fall.
