On the 9th, Lotte pitcher Toshiya Nakamura was selected to transfer to Softbank Hawks through the active player draft.
The left-handed pitcher, who joined the team as the fifth pick in the 2018 draft from Asia University, is in his seventh year this season, all as a relief pitcher, pitching in 15 games with no wins, losses, or ERA of 3.15. The Nagasaki native spoke through the team, saying, "Thank you very much for the past seven years. I wasn't able to contribute to the team as much as I wanted, but it was a truly fulfilling and enjoyable time. The days I was able to pitch, supported by meeting so many different people and encouraged by the enthusiastic support of the fans, are an irreplaceable treasure to me. For me, The Hawks are my hometown team in Kyushu, so I want to start from scratch and do my best with a new mindset."
