Manager Satoshi Nakajima, who led professional baseball Orix to victory for the first time in 25 years, will continue to lead the team next season.
This was announced by the team on the 1st.
Manager Nakajima has been appointed as a one-year contract this season from acting manager last season in order to rebuild the team that finished at the bottom for the second consecutive year.
Then, we actively appointed players who had no track record, such as Yutaro Sugimoto, who won the home run king in the sixth year, and Kotaro Kurebayashi, who graduated from high school in the second year, and strengthened the hitting line that was an issue.
In addition, 20-year-old pitcher Hiroya Miyagi, who was in charge of starting rotation from the opening, won 13 wins in the pitcher team, leading to the league championship for the first time in 25 years.
The team highly valued Nakajima's ability to balance victory and player training, and decided to sign a contract for next season.
According to the people concerned, the contract period is expected to be one year.
Orix will compete in the climax series final stage from the 10th of this month, aiming to be the best in Japan for the first time in 25 years.
