Professional baseball Softbank has announced that ace pitcher Kodai Senga has been confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus.
According to the team, when Senga received a PCR test on the 4th, it was confirmed that he was infected with the new coronavirus, and he had symptoms such as fever and malaise.
There are no people suspected of close contact with Senga, and he is isolated from the team and recuperating.
Ace pitcher Senga has scored double-digit wins for six consecutive years until last year, and this season has also led the pitchers with the team's top eight wins.
At Softbank, pitcher Tomohisa Ozeki, who has won six wins this season, left the team on the 2nd after undergoing surgery on suspicion of testicular cancer, and it seems that the pitchers will be forced to reorganize due to the successive departures of the starting pitchers.
