The '55th Mitsui Golden Glove Award' was announced on the 11th, and Rakuten Eagles outfielder Ryosuke Tatsumi (29) was selected in the outfield category. This marks his 6th consecutive year winning the award for the 6th time overall.

Tatsumi appeared in 137 games this season, primarily as a center fielder. He made a series of fine plays with his overwhelmingly wide range of defense. He also showcased plays that saved the team with his strong arm, recording 6 assists, which tied for 4th in the league. In the Pacific League outfielder category, he received 149 votes, ranking 2nd behind Shuto of the Softbank Hawks. He secured the honor again this year.

After the season ended, he underwent surgery on his right elbow to maintain the area of concern. Next season, he will continue to captivate fans with his masterful defense.
