Wada, Sawamura … What happens when Lotte and Chen Dengeki join the big hit with a new force? | Full account

The maximum number of people registered under control is 70 … Is the addition of the old larger left arm one more tailwind?

Lotte announced on the 21st that it will acquire pitcher Chen Wayne, who was also active at Oriole’s and Marlin’s in the former China and Japan. With this, we have reached the maximum limit of 70 people for registration under control. Since all reinforcements during the season have been affected this season, the addition of the old older left arm will speed up Softbank leader’s pursuit posture.

Lotte, who is currently in second place, follows Softbank by 1.5 games. Towards the end of the season, which is increasingly important, the “last move” was the acquisition of a great left arm. Chen played in China and Japan from 2004 to 2011 and pitched in 127 games in total, scoring 36 wins, 30 losses, 1 save and a 2.59 defense rate. He crossed the sea in 2012 and played 219 games in total with Oriole and Marlin, with 59 wins and 51 losses and a defense rate of 4.18. He has enough experience in Japan and a good track record.

Lotte has been actively stepping up this season. In the main venue, Kei Toritani, an infielder who left Hanshin alone last season, joined the group in March. Joining the veterans has been a hot topic. On June 1, before the opening, Yasushirou Wada, an outfielder who had been trained, was registered under the control. Taking advantage of his speed, Wada has become a great force, registering 18 stolen bases. Also, this month, pitcher Takuichi Sawamura joined a trade with a giant. He has shown good goalless shooting so far in four straight games, and made his first save after transfer in the match against Japan Ham (Sapporo Dome) on the 20th.

The virtuous circle in which the new force leads to the victory of the team is also one of the reasons for the rapid advance to see the leadership. Due to the spread of the new corona virus infection, the opening was delayed for 3 months and the season shortened to 120 games. With around 40 games remaining in a third, the participation of great players should have a considerable impact not only on their own team but also on their rival teams.

Through the team, Chen said, “I am very happy to be able to join the Marines. I will do my best to be the best in Japan. ZOZO Marine Stadium is the wind. I hope I can make good use of the wind. He posted the comment. If this participation in the electric shock becomes one more tailwind for Marín, the league championship for the first time in 15 years will be much closer.
