On the 29th, Rakuten announced that two players will have their registered names changed. catcher Yuma Yasuda (25) will be renamed to "YG Yasuda," and infielder Waterers Rikai Jumir will be renamed to "Waters."
Yasuda is a power hitter known for his powerful hitting, but due to a series of injuries, including a broken right hand in March, this season saw him miss a first-team appearance for the first time in his fourth year as a pro. "I wanted to change something because of the series of injuries, so I decided to make a bold change. It stands for Yuuma Godzilla Yasuda. This year has been a really disappointing year, so next year I will do my best to produce results that will help the team win the championship," he commented. In his second year with the Waters, he played in 68 games for the second team. Although he didn't produce results with a batting average of .192, he gained valuable experience.
