Rakuten Daisuke Nakashima outfielder (24) entered into contract negotiations on the 20th and Rakuten Mobile Park Miyagi, and signed for 37 million yen (both amounts are estimated), an increase of 27.5 million yen, which is 289% higher than the club's highest fielder rate. This season, the second year, reached the required at-bat for the first time, and played in 124 games with a batting average of 20.6.6%, 6 Home Run, and 31 RBI. In July, he set a new Pacific League record, tying Shigeo Nagashima's professional baseball, and also marked triple in four consecutive games. "I was able to continue to play in the game, and there were things that only people who haven't played for a long time can understand, and there were difficulties," he recalled.
Since he mainly played as the No. 1 hitter player, "I want to focus on my on-base percentage, and since I'm the No. 1 player, I think it's my job to create chances. He plans to contribute to the team by further improving his on-base percentage, which was .286 this season. On the colored paper on which he wrote his goal for next season, he wrote "1," meaning that he wants to hit No. 1 again next season and that he will work to become No. 1 in everything he does. As a team, we must also aim to be No. 1 and win the championship," he said. As the leadoff man, he will be on base more often than this season.
