Featured magazine cover: Weekly Baseball, May 10, 2021 issue — "2021 Hanshin Tigers Special Feature" — featuring Sato Teruaki, Shintaro Fujinami, Sands — with the headline "猛虎神撃" ("Fierce Tiger Divine Strike") and "5 reasons the Tigers stand atop first place." (Cumulative issue #3,704 / the May 10, 2021 issue.)
Description: The big slugger, long burdened with great expectations, has fully blossomed. In 2025 his opposite-field (to left) extra-base hits increased, and both his RBIs and home runs were career highs. His hitting theory is detailed and his feel is delicate. His improvement at third base is also striking. His potential is a clear blue sky (limitless).
