Tomomi Takahashi, a left fielder who played an active role as a relief pitcher in professional baseball Seibu, announced at a press conference that he would retire only this season. "It was a short time, but I was able to spend a very strong and good time." I looked back on my eight years of active life.

Pitcher Takahashi is 31 years old from Shizuoka prefecture.



After working as a professional baseball player, I joined Seibu in the 4th place in the draft in 2012.



In the second year, he was left to hold back, marked 29 saves and was elected to the Japan national team, and the following year he also scored 22 saves.



However, he suffered from injuries such as injuring his left elbow in 2016 and undergoing a ligament repair operation called "Tommy John Surgery", and from last season he re-contracted as a training player and aimed to revive. The pitching in the army was not easy.



The total professional record was 6 wins, 5 losses and 52 saves in 160 games, with an ERA of 2.74.

I haven't worked as a baseball player

recently.

That's a regret, but it was fun, "he recalled for eight years.



He also said, "I did everything in my life, such as treatment, training, and eating, but when I threw it as a batting pitcher in August, I had a lot of pain. I gave up in a good way, so I decided on my own. I did, "he said.



Pitcher Takahashi's retirement match is scheduled to take place on October 30th with the 2nd army.
