An exchange between pitcher Kazuto Taguchi and infielder Yakult Taishi Hirooka that made the world of professional baseball lively in early March. It was a shocking announcement in less than a month until the start of the season on March 26, and it was a trade between the same leagues. It may seem difficult for both players who have continued to appeal in camp, but the former catcher who has traded twice in the past pays attention to the bright side.

Toshihiro Noguchi, who has been active as a receiver for a total of 21 years in Yakult, Nippon-Ham, Hanshin and Yokohama (now DeNA), says so. He volunteered to trade with the team in 1997 during the Yakult era. The following year, he moved to Nippon Ham early in the 1998 season. In 2002, he went to Hanshin in exchange for Tomochika Tsuboi. “The situation is different from this job,” he said, but says he can understand the feelings of the parts that move the team.
“If you’re on the same team all the time, it’s hard to change your mind, so I think the trade is a good opportunity to restart.”
Taguchi was broken with double-digit wins for the second year in a row since 2016, but in 2018 he only had two wins due to a breakdown. In 2019, he emerged as a middleman, but last season, when he got into the opening routine, he turned to a middleman due to a breakdown and ended up with 5 wins, 7 losses, 1 save and 2 holds. On the other hand, Hirooka also posted the first 10 double-digit home runs in 2019, which is the fourth year, but last season he played just 87 games, mostly emerging hitters. The long-awaited cannon candidate was still on fire and in his sixth year of high school.
