On the 16th, Nippon-Ham announced that they had signed development player contracts pitcher pitcher Ryodai Matsumoto, Kotaro Seimiya, Koki Matsuoka pitcher, Haruki Miyauchi Haruka Nemoto, Ataru Yamaguchi pitcher pitcher number will change to "116" for Matsuoka, "117" for Miyauchi, and "159" for Nemoto.
Miyauchi posted a 3.34 ERA in 33 games in the second team this season, and was registered as a controlled player in July, but his performance declined in the second half of the season and he was not able to pitch in the first team. He was notified that he was released for the third time during the off-season. Next season will be his fourth attempt at being registered as a controlled player, and he expressed his determination, saying, "My performance declined in the second half of the season, which led to this result. Next year, I want to work hard to produce good results throughout the entire year."
The right-handed pitcher, whose fastest pitch is measured at 153 km/h from a sidearm throw, stated his challenge: "I want to change the rotation of my hips from vertical to horizontal. I want to reconsider the rotation so that it matches the swing of my arm." He takes inspiration from stars in the majors who throw hard fastballs from a sidearm-like form. He got hints from studying videos of Mets closer Diaz, who repeatedly throws over 160 km/h from a three-quarter arm throw, and Pirates' Skeens, who won the Cy Young Award this season.
He joined the team as the sixth pick in the 2022 draft, and next season will be his fourth year as a professional. "There's no point in ending up as a regular player. I want to work hard so that I can become part of the relief pitchers' winning pattern." The 29-year-old hard worker will shine on the first-team stage.
