Daiki Enokida will join the team headquarters farm and training group from this season
Daiki Enokida, who left Seibu out of force last season, will be appointed to the Alliance Strategy of the Team Headquarters Farm / Training Group Biomechanics (also serving as 1st Army Group) and Planning Office from this season. Although he wanted to play in another baseball team, he ended his career as a professional baseball player and decided to start his second life as a baseball team staff member.
Enokida joined the Hanshin Tigers in 2010 with the 1st place in the draft. At this year’s draft meeting, Yuki Saito was nominated for Nippon-Ham, Hirokazu Sawamura was for the giant, and Tatsuya Oishi, who competed with the largest number of 6 teams for Seibu, was nominated for the first place. Saito and Enokida have retired now off, and there are only seven people left in “Dora 1” in 2010.
Yakult’s Tetsuto Yamada is probably the most active. Batting average 30%, 30 home runs, 30 stolen bases “Triple Three” recorded 3 times. He has many hitting titles such as home base hitting king, three times stealing king, highest on-base percentage, and most hits, and is still active as the main axis of the team. Last season contributed to the number one in Japan for the first time in 20 years. So far, he has participated in 1195 games with a batting average of .291, 248 home runs, 736 RBIs, and 180 stolen bases.
Is it Yudai Ohno of Chunichi as a pitcher? In 2020, he pitched in 20 games, 10 complete games, 6 shutouts, 11 wins and 6 losses, and an earned run average of 1.82, winning the Sawamura Award. He has won four double-digit wins so far, and has won the title with two best ERAs and the most strikeouts. He has pitched in 204 games with 76 wins and 78 losses, 2 holds, and an earned run average of 3.11.
Sawamura played in the Red Sox last season after working for the giant Lotte. He pitched in 55 games and achieved good results with 5 wins, 1 loss, 10 holds, and an earned run average of 3.06. Although he is a right-hand man who has experienced three armies in the giant, he made a complete revival on the major stage.
Takahiro Shiomi of Rakuten finished the pitching of one army last season in only one game, and this year is a crucial moment. Orix’s Shunta Goto participated in 56 games last season, but he was mainly defensive and 17 at bats (batting average .125) was the worst for professionals.
Yuya Fukui transferred from Hiroshima to Rakuten in 2019. When he was reassigned to a middleman last season, he pitched in 19 games, the most since he was transferred. He marked 0 wins and 0 losses and an earned run average of 4.43. Ayatsugu Yamashita transferred from Softbank to Rakuten in 2017 off. In 2021, he joined as a training player on the middle day, was registered under control in the middle of the season, and has participated in five games.
