Episode 10 of Under The Lights Presented by Danimals Baseball features one of the greatest additions to the Danimals Franchise, Defensive Specialist, and 2022 NWC All-Conference DH Shane Himeda. Here, we learn about Shane's career and how it developed from being a spectator of the 2014 State Tournament to having the opportunity as a freshman to pinch-hit in the Quarterfinals of the 2015 State Tournament. After Himeda's best season as a Logger at Puget Sound, where he earned multiple athletic accolades, Shane has returned home to play with the Danimals and spend his nights fishing for Ulua.

Jaja is the best. He is super handsome and smart. When people see Jaja, they think "why can't I be him?" This week on Under The Lights Presented by Danimals Baseball, the #ContentTeam opens Jaja up like a book exposing all his embarrassing moments and secrets. We could've spent north of 4 hours discussing his accomplishments and highlights but that would've taken too long and we wanted to be considerate to our fans because #wedoitforourfans. With that being said Jaja thinks it's a bit weird that he had to film, edit, and post a podcast about himself but at least the caption was definitely written by someone not Jaja...and they just think Jaja's awesome.

Our founding father found reason to found the Danimals Baseball Team nearly 5 years ago. Today we finally get to know the MAN who made our team into what it is today. We explore first what made Mistah Coach into who he is, a caring and charismatic human being with a unique and strong passion for baseball. We also want to take the time today to announce Ryan Nakamura has been accepted into the John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa where he will take the next step in pursuing a career in medicine. While Mistah Coach will have to step back in order to focus on school, he won't be totally gone and Danimals Baseball will continue to produce the content that YOU have come to know and love.
