On the 20th, Orix Buffaloes outfielder Seiichi Teramoto (22) vowed to make his "development dream" come true next season. He joined the team as the fourth pick in last year's development draft, but his goal of becoming a regular player has been postponed. It was Sugimoto who encouraged him, telling him to "grab your dream." On this day, he attended contract negotiations in Maishima, Osaka, and signed a contract for an annual salary of 2.5 million yen, an increase of 100,000 yen. "I want to achieve consistent batting next year," he said, intending to follow the instructions of Raoh.

He suffered a stress fracture in his left rib during the rookie joint voluntary training in January. He admitted that he was a little anxious because he started late, but he left his mark with a batting average of .385 in 13 games in the Western League. A graduate of Hiroshima University of Economics, his most notable alumnus is Yanagita (Softbank Hawks). He also right-handed pitcher left-handed hitter, and his signature swing is his ability to swing powerfully.

He has also changed his hairstyle, saying, "I got a perm..." and is a nice character that is teased by both seniors and juniors. "Ultimately, I hope I can hit like Yoshida Masanao," he said with a sparkle in his eyes. Keep an eye on the balls that will be hit from his 170cm, 86kg frame. It will be interesting to see him make a big impact. (Osada Toru)
