Orix Buffaloes ・ It was decided on the 13th that Shota Abe pitcher (33) will rejoin the first team for the first time in a month and a half.In his sixth season, he has appeared in two games as a reliever this season, totaling 5 runs. He was removed from the active roster on May 30. In the farm league, he posted a 1.66 ERA over 25 games ERA. He is expected to join the bullpen in place of Kawase, who was removed from the active roster.

"I want to give it my all. If it means I can be of help to the team, I'll do anything, any role." He flew to Sendai that day to prepare for the three-game series Rakuten Eagles starting on the 14th (Rakuten Eagles Mobile). "I'm grateful to have been called up (to the first team) at this time," he said, vowing to repay the favor.

The right-handed pitcher changed his form to a sidearm delivery last offseason. He intends to be used in any situation, whether it's in a trailing position, as a one-point reliever against right-handed hitter, or as a long reliever. At 33 years old, he's determined to give it his all.
