Rakuten Eagles announced on the 9th that Konosuke Tatsumi infielder (25) will be transferred to Hiroshima in the active draft.
Tatsumi joined Rakuten Eagles as the first pick in the 2022 development draft from Seinan Gakuin University. He was registered as a controlled player in July 2011, but was released during the offseason last season and re-signed to a development contract. He was registered as a controlled player for the second time in July this year, but has not played in the first team this season. "I wasn't surprised because I thought I might. I have nothing but gratitude for all the Tohoku fans who have supported me so much over the past three years. I am truly disappointed that I was not able to show you how I can perform well in the first team. I think that doing well in my next place will be a way to repay you all, so please support me even when I go to Hiroshima," he commented.
