On the 11th, pitcher Yudai Ono (32) announced at Mazda Stadium that he would remain with the team next season without declaring himself FA.

He almost agreed with the baseball team on a three-year 900 million yen contract plus a piece rate (estimated amount). For the left arm, which is geared towards the majors, the team plans to sign a formal contract in the near future, taking into account the big challenges starting next season.

Ai Chunichi came out of the mouth of the left arm ace.

“I want to win the Dragons. It may seem too early to decide, but every time I throw it, I feel more and more (residual). Sometimes I form a team. If I decide early, the team will be saved.”

He acquired the rights to the national FA this season. Hanshin and others were paying close attention to the trend after signing a one-year contract last year, but the benefit to China and Japan outweighed the exercise of the rights. He joined Chunichi in 1st place in the draft for 10 years. In 2011, the rookie year had a left shoulder injury, and failed to become the piece when he won the last league title in China and Japan. “I got injured and was nominated for first place in the draft without throwing a single ball in the last league game in college. I think it’s a gratitude to lead the team to the championship.”

With 11 wins and 6 losses this season, he led the team to class A for the first time in eight years. The award for the best defense rate has also been decided for the second year in a row. “I want to avidly aim for the defense rate title next year,” he enthuses. 148 Three swings are almost in hand. 10 full releases 6 full stamps and the first Sawamura Award is also on view.

Yu Ohno, who has a strong tendency to become a major player, is expected to acquire the FA rights overseas next season if all goes well. It has just been reported that several MLB teams are paying close attention to the strong results this season. The team also shows the greatest sincerity in addition to the contract on the left arm that decided to stay. As a general rule, a three-year contract will be signed, but if the V recapture is fulfilled, it will be considered for seniors even during the contract.

The remaining ace was the biggest reinforcement of the force. Next season we will celebrate the 85th anniversary of the founding of the team, and the highest order to reconquer V for the first time in 10 years since 2011. Yu Ohno will continue to wave his arms at the long-awaited wish of the dragon next season.
