Professional baseball Chunichi won Lotte this season as a training player for pitcher Yuta Omine, who was out of the field.
Pitcher Omine is 33 years old from Okinawa prefecture.
As an ace of Yaeyama Commercial and Industrial, he was active in Koshien and joined Lotte in 2007 in the first round of the high school draft.
Pitcher Omine won his first professional victory in the second year, and in the eighth year he won his most eight wins, but this season in the fifteenth year he only pitched eight games, with an earned run average of 4.09. Last month, he was out of force from Lotte.
On the 13th, Chunichi announced that he would acquire pitcher Omine as a training player and signed a contract at the baseball team office.
