This season, he pitched in 50 games for Yakult, posting a record of 3 wins, 5 losses, 33 saves, and an ERA of 1.86. At Samurai Japan’s training camp on the 6th, he said, “I feel more needed than being evaluated. I’m more happy to be needed.”

As for the deciding factor in staying, he said, “The point I had completely decided on was when I received a direct phone call from Coach Takatsu, and he said words that really stuck with me.“Let’s do this together.I will definitely support you in any way possible.” I’ll keep him.” Hearing him say that really hit home for me. In that sense, the conversation made me want to play an active role with the Yakult Swallows next year and win the championship after receiving such good words from Coach Takatsu. I wonder if that was the case. I can only be grateful.”

He also revealed that the performance he performed during his victory will be sealed. “I think it’s natural that there are people who don’t like it, so I won’t do it.I’m graduating now.I won’t let other players do it either.After winning the game, I can properly wave my hand and report my victory.” I will do that,” he said.

Bauer’s appearance is the impetus for his growth: “Top players practice near me”

DeNA pitcher Shota Imanaga held a press conference at Yokohama Stadium on the 13th and announced that he would aim to transfer to the major leagues using the posting system.

For Imanaga, who had set his sights on challenging for the majors, this season spent with Bauer was a learning experience. He actively asked questions of his right-hander, a former Cy Young Award winner, and helped him grow. “Being able to practice with top players close to me gave me a lot of advice, and I was able to see their minds and skills up close, so I had a great year with Bauer in my career. I think I got it,” he said with a nod.

Regarding the challenge, “I talked to players like Hikaru Ito, Miyazaki, Tobashira, and Sano.” He said that he received warm words from his teammates, saying, “Everyone said in unison that not everyone can stand there, so if you have even the slightest right, it’s better to try after trying than not trying.” “I was told that I might be able to see something,” he said.

Calliste, Almonte, and Aquino all failed.

This is Chunichi’s second year under the Tatsunami administration, and before the season they added helpers such as outfielder Aristides Aquino and infielder Orlando Calliste. They made a “blood change” by releasing their mainstay infielders Yota Kyoda and Toshiki Abe, but as a result they finished in last place for the second consecutive year. Here, we look back at the reinforcements from last off-season.

This season, Chunichi suffered from poor hitting. His ERA was 3.08, second in the league, while his batting average of .234, 71 home runs, and 390 runs were all worst in the league. It was probably the helper fielder who miscalculated. Aquino was expected to have the power to hit 41 shots in the majors, but he ended up hitting .154 with one home run. Calliste also had unsatisfactory results with a batting average of .233 and five home runs. Furthermore, outfielder Soiro Almonte returned to his old team for the first time in three years, but there was no trace of his former self, and he ended up in a major slump with a batting average of .189 and one home run.

So, what happened to the players acquired after releasing their main players? Pitcher Hideaki Wakui, who joined from Rakuten in a trade with Abe, pitched in 21 games as a part of the rotation, but there were many games where he was not blessed with support, and he lost significantly with 5 wins and 13 losses. Pitcher Takeki Sunada, who was acquired by releasing Kyoda, finished with an ERA of 4.61 in 18 pitches.

Among them, the one who achieved great success was outfielder Seiya Hosokawa, who joined the team through the active draft. He only hit 6 home runs in 6 years at DeNA, but his talent has blossomed. He played in 140 games this season, hitting .253 with 24 home runs and 78 RBIs, all career highs.

The number of teams under control is 68, the most of 12 teams, and there are only 2 left, but it will depend on the movements of Nishikawa and his helpers.

With the draft meeting and second notification period over, Hiroshima had the least number of players leaving the team among the 12 teams. There are only four players outside of their control, and pitcher Ryuji Ichioka is the only one to retire. The number of teams under control is 68, the most of 12 teams, and they are currently stuck. The future will likely depend on the movements of foreign players and outfielder Ryoma Nishikawa, who has domestic free agent rights.

The four players outside of their control are pitcher Akitake Okada, pitcher Kazuki Yabuta, infielder Takumi Miyoshi, and pitcher Reiki Fujii. Although the number was small, Okada and Yabuta, who contributed to the league championship in 2017, were also included. It was also reported that pitcher Shun Yukiki, pitcher Kurio Nakamura, and outfielder Motohide Kinoshita will not be signing contracts for next season. Additionally, pitcher Ryuji Ichioka will retire at the end of this season.

At the draft meeting, Aoyama Gakuin University’s pitcher Hayato Tsunehiro was selected in first place. Although he overlapped with Rakuten, he secured negotiation rights through a lottery. Daisho University’s pitcher Taichi Takata came in 2nd place, Seisa Doto University’s pitcher Kazuki Takita came in 3rd place, Okinawa Shogaku High School’s infielder Yuhito Nakata came in 4th place, and Chukyo Gakuin University’s pitcher Takeshi Akatsuka came in 5th place. . Under their control, they nominated five players, four of whom were college graduate pitchers.

There are only 2 positions left under control, but it seems to be in flux depending on who leaves the position in the future. This season’s helpers are pitcher Drew Anderson, pitcher Nick Turley, pitcher Roberto Corniel, infielder Ryan McBroom, and infielder Matt Davidson. It has not been announced how many of them will remain. Also, if Nishikawa, who has domestic free agent rights, were to leave, the reinforcement points would likely change.
