A concurrent GM director was born. Rakuten announced on the 12th that Kazuhisa Ishii, General Manager (GM = 47), will also serve as director for the upcoming season. Renewed a new multi-year contract. Director Hajime Miki (43), who has been in office for the first year, will be reassigned to the second army director who served last season. 4th place with 2 debts this season. He missed the climax series (CS) and finished in class B for the first time in two years. From the middle of the season, Miki’s continued pitches were on the basics, but a comprehensive decision was made that included team executives, and Ishii GM was entrusted with the tact.

There is no meek look. In front of the colorful flowers, GM Ishii, who also serves as the director, delivered in a strong tone. “My mission is to be a strong team and at the same time be loved by the people of Tohoku. This work is full of criticism and a little bit of praise. I want to keep going, no matter what I say.” With a large body that has won 182 victories in Japan and the United States, he took his courage and showed his determination.
Take great responsibility. The conflict is immeasurable. The entire program was completed in 4th place on Day 7. “I’m reflecting on myself,” he said. Soon after, the team consulted it on the 10th and accepted it on the 11th. I was wondering if I could do it, wondering if I could be halfway there or if I could fulfill my responsibilities, but the scene from seven years ago made me backtrack .
CEO and director Ishii didn’t live in Tohoku, and he was watching the scene that became Japan’s best in 2013, without any connection or connection. An unforgettable scene in the life of baseball. I want to realize it again. I do it with the desire to show it to everyone in Tohoku a couple of times.
Draw an “Ishii style” construction kit to make your wishes come true. This season, the league leaders lost both the team’s hit rate and score in 32 games, which was the worst of the 12 teams, and 15 games lost by 1 point. “A team with potential. It’s just a weak game. I want to be a strong team that can handle any type of baseball.” The company plans to aggressively develop pitchers, including the bull pen, for teams that can compete.
During my tenure as CEO, I saw and heard various voices. “I wrote an article using a small comment from the past. It seems that something responds. If I become a director, I can say my own words without misunderstandings. I do not want to praise this team strongly. I want to be an attractive team.” Build a permanent body with your own hands.[Mikihisa Kuwahara]

I regret not being able to play the baseball that I aspired to as Rakuten Miki’s 2nd Army Director and at the same time, I am very sorry that I was unable to meet the expectations of all the fans. Next season, as second coach of the army, I would like to focus on several topics, such as the formation of young players and coaches who will carry future Eagles on their backs. I want to do my best for the team.
◆ GM (General Manager) Has the personal rights of managers, coaches and players, and is the chief manager of team building, such as player acquisition and exchange. In Japan, Lotte appointed Tatsuro Hirooka as the GM title for the first time in 1994. In the past, the director who also serves as general manager has also experienced Softbank baseball team president King Sadaharu. Orix Katsuhiro Nakamura became a director in 2006 after serving as general manager in 2003-05. Like Mr. Senichi Hoshino, who became Rakuten’s vice chairman of the board in September 2015, there are instances of important GM positions without calling himself GM.
