Lotte Ryusei Miyazaki infielder went to ZOZO on March 3 to negotiate a contract renewal, and the contract was renewed for 15 million yen (amount estimated), an increase of 1 million yen.
After graduating from Soushi Gakuen, Ritsumeikan University, and Yamaha, he joined the team as the second pick in the 2012 draft. In his first year this season, he had a batting average of .194, 0 Home Run, and 3 RBI in 39 games. He said he keenly felt his lack of technique, unable to catch the fastballs of professional first-string pitcher.
In his second year next season, he will hone his batting skills and aim to win the competition and secure a regular position at second base, saying, "I want to become a regular at second baseman."
