I learned from interviews with officials that Masanao Yoshida, the central batter of professional baseball Orix, will discuss with the team on the 3rd about the major league challenge using the posting system.
According to people involved, Yoshida had been hoping to challenge the major leagues in the future, but using the posting system, the team announced on the 3rd that he would challenge the major leagues this off-season. I found out that I have a place to talk with.
The team is expected to carefully consider whether to accept the challenge.
Yoshida is 29 years old from Fukui prefecture.
He joined Aoyama Gakuin University in 1st place in the draft in 2016, and won the top hitter for two consecutive years until last year.
He is a batter that represents the baseball world, such as participating in the Tokyo Olympics last year.
As Orix's core player this season, he marked a batting average of 30%, 3 minutes and 5 minutes and 21 home runs, becoming the leading player in the Pacific League for the first time in 26 years.
