Seibu Lions' Ryosuke Moriwaki

◆ Pacific League Softbank Hawks 6-0 Seibu Lions (30th, Tokyo Dome)

Seibu Lions Lions manager Nishiguchi expressed his expectations for pitcher Ryosuke Moriwaki who was promoted to the main roster on the 30th, saying, "He's been pitching well in the farm league. I hope he can continue to pitch like that."

The right-hander is expected to join the first team as reliever in the near future. In the minor leagues this season, he appeared in 23 games as reliever, recording a stable record of 3 wins, 2 losses, 8 saves, and ERA of 0.79.

He joined Seibu Lions in 2018 as the sixth pick in the draft from Sega Sammy. He supported the team as a relief pitcher, appearing in more than 40 games for three consecutive years starting in 2020. However, in 2023 he underwent "brachial artery patching surgery for right brachial artery occlusion," and from 2024 he became a developmental player, aiming to return to the main roster.
