On the 26th, Rakuten Eagles celebrated the end of work at the team office in Sendai City, where team president Masayuki Morii (51) addressed employees. This season, the team recorded an attendance of 1,707,349 people, surpassing last season's (1,642,371) attendance. He expressed his gratitude, saying, "We appreciate the tremendous support from our fans and the efforts of all our staff who devoted themselves to their daily work." Also, for the first time in the team's 20-year history, the team held official regular season in six Tohoku prefectures in the same season.

The team battled for third place in the CS standings until the end of the season, but finished in fourth place for the fourth year in a row. However, Itsuki Murabayashi infielder (28) won the most hit titles, and rookie Rui Muneyama infielder (22) was selected as the best nine, and there was some work that will lead to next season and beyond. In the off-season, the team steadily strengthened its lineup by acquiring right-handers Kenta Maeda pitcher (37), who has 165 wins in Japan and the U.S., and Hikaru Ito catcher (36), a FA from DeNA. I am convinced that the team is steadily growing into a team that can aim for even greater heights by combining veterans, young players, and new competitiveness, Let's work together as a team to bring our fans the best possible joy next season, and aim for the top position in Japan.
