Softbank On the 29th, it was learned that the CPBL (Taiwan Pro baseball) is conducting a full-scale investigation of Ajisen and Xu Luoqi pitcher (24). Aiming to strengthen their starting lineup, they are eagerly looking at right-handers with the fastest speed of 158 km. On this day, it was publicly announced by the CPBL that Xu has applied for the overseas transfer system (FA).

This season, Moinello, Arihara, Uesawa, and Ozeki have all cleared double digits win. Xu, who serves as the ace in Ajizen, is an undisputed force to add to the team's depth. He has a 5-7 record and a ERA 2.05 record in 19 games this season, and is highly regarded for his ability as a starter. He has had a high strike out rate throughout his career and has surpassed 120 strike out and innings pitched in 114 innings this season.

Xu released a statement saying, "Ever since I was in high school, I've dreamed of one day trying my hand at pitching overseas." He also expressed his gratitude to the management, trainers, and other staff, concluding, "No matter where I pitch next season, I will always keep my focus on growth and continue to work hard, never letting my guard down."

Several teams in Japan and the US have expressed interest in Xu, and Nippon-Ham is also investigating him. At just 24 years old, he has limitless potential for growth. The Hawks, aiming for their third consecutive league championship, are eagerly following his developments.
