For the next three years, there was no pitching in the 1st army, and Hanshin was out of force only for the last season. Including 5 wins and losses, the ERA of 0.42 was outstanding.
On the 6th, the year-old pitcher went to a press conference to join the team after officially concluding a contract at a Yakult baseball team in Tokyo, and said, "I'm really happy.
Unlike the Hanshin era, where emphasis was placed on ball power, the year-old pitcher honed the control that was a challenge in the starting Kagawa and increased the number of spheres other than the forkball, which he is good at. I was able to learn a lot while throwing. I am looking forward to throwing at the Hanshin game."
The contract is for the end of the season and the annual salary is estimated at 6 million yen.
Yakult Junji Ogawa, General Manager, said, “I think that the starting point has given him another point of his own goodness. It matches the team that lacks a starting pitcher.”
