It turns out that professional baseball Yakult will sign a new multi-year contract with 38-year-old Nori Aoki, the oldest team fielder.
38-year-old Aoki played 107 games this season with a batting average of 30%, 1 minute, 7 home runs, 18 home runs, and 51 RBIs, leading the team as captain.
Yakult signed a three-year contract from the season when Aoki returned to Yakult from the major leagues, which was the final year, but it turned out that he will sign a new multi-year contract from next season.
Junji Ogawa, general manager, said, "It's an evaluation of the existence of Aoki and all the words, actions, and actions that came back from the major leagues."
In addition, Tsuyoshi Kinugasa, the president of the team, said, "I am inspiring everyone aloud, and even when I enter the turn at bat, I am running at the forefront. It is quite different without him. There is a part that says, so I want you to do your best next year as well. "
