In March, Junichi Tazawa, who had a free contract with Major League Reds, will join Saitama in the Independent League and BC League.
34-year-old pitcher Tazawa had a free contract for major league reds in March, and reached an agreement to join Saitama of the independent league and BC league by 12th.
On 13th, we will sign a contract to join in Saitama prefecture and hold a conference.
Pitcher Tazawa challenged the major leagues directly from adult baseball without going through professional baseball and contributed to the World Series title as a relay in 2013 at the Red Sox.
In the Major Leagues, he scored 388 games, scored 21 wins, 26 losses, 4 saves, and an ERA of 4.12.
Tazawa will not be able to play in professional baseball for two years after leaving the team due to an agreement he made when he signed a major league team without being drafted by a Japanese team.
