Pitcher Yasuaki Yamasaki, who has been unsuccessful since the start of this season in professional baseball and DeNA, has renewed his contract with an estimated annual salary of 280 million yen, down 70 million yen.
Pitcher Yamazaki won the title with the most saves for the second consecutive year until last season, but this season was lackluster from the start and was released in late July.
For this reason, he pitched 40 games with 0 wins, 3 losses and 6 saves, an ERA of 5.68, and the worst result in his sixth year as a pro.
Pitcher Yamazaki negotiated a contract at Yokohama Stadium on the 22nd, and renewed the contract for 280 million yen, an estimated 70 million yen down.
At the press conference, pitcher Yamazaki said that the opening was delayed by about three months due to the influence of the new coronavirus. "It was a very irregular season and it was difficult to make conditions, but it was an experience. The results are disappointing. I'm full of feelings. "
On top of that, he expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "I want to prepare my body and mind well and do my best toward the opening."
Regarding his thoughts on the future major league challenge that he revealed last year, he said, "I can't say exactly what will happen in the future, but I'm still strong. No matter how I proceed, my play style and fans I want to remember the attitude of valuing. "
