Lotte pitcher Shunsuke Nakamori announced on the 3rd that he had married a non-celebrity woman.

Through the team, he commented, "I am very sorry to be talking about my personal life, but I would like to announce that today I have registered my marriage with a non-celebrity person I have been dating for some time. I hope to turn the support of my partner that I receive every day into strength as we walk through life together and grow even more. I still have a lot to learn in my baseball career and as a person, but as a husband and a player, I will take each day with a sense of responsibility and determination. I will continue to work hard to contribute to the team's win, so I would appreciate your continued support."
