Seibu Lions developmental outfielder Lamar (20) underwent contract negotiations at the team office in Tokorozawa City, Saitama on the 30th, signing for a status quo annual salary of 2.8 million yen.

He joined the Seibu Lions as the third-round developmental draft pick in 2024 from Osaka Toin. In this, his second season, he suffered a torn left anterior cruciate ligament in March while with the farm team and underwent surgery, ending the season without appearing in a single farm game. In his first year in 2025, he only appeared in third-squad games and had no appearances for the second-squad. Heading into a crucial third year, he expressed his determination, saying, 'My strength is my power hitting, so I hope to contribute to the team by making the most of that long-range hitting ability.'

During the off-season, he plans to conduct independent training with his teammate, outfielder Shinya Hasegawa (24), and expressed his enthusiasm, saying, 'Since his level is high in both batting and defense, I hope to steal his good points and make them my own.'
