Orix, who is sluggish to the bottom of the professional baseball Pacific League, has announced that Tokufumi Nishimura, the current director, will evaluate young players and will continue next season.
This was revealed by ORIX President Tsutsuo Tsutsuo at Kyocera Dome Osaka before the Lotte match on the 21st.
Among them, the Ryukyu group president said, “It is very big that young players have emerged, and in that sense, the team has been successfully created. He stated that he requested Director Nishimura to conduct the next season on the morning of the 21st, and that Nishimura also agreed.
Orix has been suffering from a lack of scoring power from the beginning of this season, the first year of his appointment as manager of Nishimura, and has been losing to the bottom in the ranking because it has been decided to lose for the fifth consecutive year.
On the other hand, pitcher teams such as Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the third year who turned to the starter of the season, and Taisuke Yamaoka, the third-year pitcher who won his first double-digit victory, became the mainstay, and the fielder was also the first year. Ryota Nakagawa is the first batter in the exchange game, and young players respond to the appointment and give results, and the team is also rejuvenating.
ORIX has evaluated the training skills of Director Nishimura who uses young players to improve their skills, and the team will be reorganized under Director Nishimura next season.
