On the 29th, Nippon-Ham announced that pitcher Mizuki Hori had married a non-celebrity woman.
Hori commented through the team, "I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my family for always supporting me. I will continue to work hard with a greater sense of responsibility than ever before. I would appreciate your continued warm support."
Hori won the title of best reliever pitcher in 2021, but his performance has declined since 2022, and he has only pitched in two games this season, with ERA of 16.20.
