Tazawa rejected NPB’s nomination project in 2008 when it belonged to Shin Nihon Oil ENEOS (now ENEOS) and announced a big challenge. He signed a 6-year contract with Red Socks. In response to this, in the Japanese baseball world, if an amateur player hires a professional baseball team overseas without going through the NPB baseball team, it is not possible to sign the NPB baseball team for a set period of time (2 years for high school students, 3 years for college students and working adults). The “Tazawa Rule” has been created.

In 2013, Tazawa contributed the world’s best red socks as the top of the ensemble. Since 2017, he has traveled to the Marlins and elsewhere, and this season, which is his twelfth in the United States, he signed a contract as a minor player with the Reds, but the contract was canceled in March. He returned to Japan under the influence of the spread of the new corona virus infection, and in July he signed a contract with BC Saitama Musashi and returned to Japan.

Two months later, in September, the NPB executive committee and 12 teams officially decided to abolish the “Tazawa Rule.” It was possible to nominate at this year’s draft meeting, and while the focus is on the trends of each team, Tazawa said: “If I am nominated, I would like to consult with several people and decide.” Although they have a good track record, each team has been reluctant to nominate Tazawa, who will turn 35 next season.
