The professional baseball giant re-signed a contract with a third-year pitcher, Daisuke Naoe, who had a hip surgery last fall and was an off-training player, as a registered player under the control of one army.
Pitcher Naoe is 21 years old.
I joined the giant from Matsusho Gakuen in Nagano in 3rd place in the draft.
He made his debut in the 1st army last August and went up to the mound for 3 games in the starting lineup, but he couldn't get a winning star.
After that, in October, I underwent surgery for a hernia in the lower back, became an off-training player, and continued rehabilitation.
He returned to the actual battle in March, and marked a shutout victory in the Eastern League match against Yakult on the 24th of this month, showing a good recovery.
And on the 28th, the team re-signed a contract with pitcher Naoe for a registered player under control who can participate in a match of the 1st Army.
The jersey number has changed from "054" to "54", the same as before becoming a training player.
Pitcher Naoe said, "Eight months after last year's surgery, I was finally able to return to control. I am very grateful to the people who supported me. In the second half of the season, I will be able to firmly become one army. I would like to practice more than ever before, "he commented through the team.
