Rakuten Eagles innings pitched The first team to win the championship pitcher had four players reach the regulated number of players, and the second team had four players reach the regulated number of players. Four members of the winning Softbank Hawks team had reached the regulated innings pitched number of players, but the team threw the most pitches this season. However, the most pitches thrown by the team this season was 109 2/3 innings by Masaru Fujii pitcher (29). The commander said, "I'm all to blame for that kind of result, but it's sad. He hoped that Kosei Shoji pitcher (25) and Tatsuki Koja pitcher (24), who he expects to be in the starting rotation, would throw longer inning next season.
However, he feels that the responsibility does not lie solely with starter. "At the beginning, the starting pitchers were doing their best, but we couldn't score any runs and lost, so I don't think it was the starting pitchers' fault. If we had scored a few more runs and won, it might have been a year in which (the starting pitchers) could have gotten on a roll." In addition, Chikara Onodera (45) has been appointed pitcher coach, and Taku Ino (42) has been appointed battery coach. He said he hopes that with the addition of new blood, the team will be able to compete in a better form than this season.
Manager Miki himself is keenly aware that there are some things he needs to correct for his second year. "Personally, I think we need to reconsider how we adjusted in February. I feel like it was a little late," he said, and plans to reconsider the adjustments he made during training camp while discussing with his staff. Next season, starter will be able to pitch well and create momentum for the offense, racking up wins.
