It turned out that Shinji Sasaoka, who led professional baseball and Hiroshima for three seasons until this season, has told the team that he intends to resign as director due to poor results.


The team has accepted the offer to resign, and plans to proceed with the selection of a successor centered on OB in the future.

Hiroshima lost the match against Yakult on September 30th and was confirmed to be 5th in the league this season.
