◆Farm League: Lotte 5-2 Nippon-Ham (October 10th, Lotte Urawa)

Lotte Atsuki Taneichi pitcher (27) started against Nippon-Ham in the Farm League and threw 72 pitches in 5 innings, 2 hit, 1 Walk, 7 strike out with no runs.

Taneichi participated in the WBC held in March as a member of Samurai Japan, but was not included in the opening day roster and is currently adjusting in the farm team. He made his return to action in the game against Oisix on the 3rd (Niigata) and pitch with 38 pitches over 3 innings, bringing his total runs inning over the two games to 8.

Yoshinori Tateyama, the first-team pitcher coordinator, who checked the video, said, "We will discuss (Saburo's promotion to the first team) with the manager. He pitched smoothly for five inning today, so I think he is ready to pitch in the first team, and we will decide on the timing after discussing it with the manager. He has been working hard despite his shoulder not being in the best condition, so I think we will need to check on him the next day (the 11th). His fastball was around 153 km/h, so I think it was good."
