Hayashi Ito joined the team in 2011 with the first draft. He was expected to be a player with all three rhythms of attack and defense, but last year he did not participate in the 1st Army, and this season he did not participate in the 1st Army. “I couldn’t get results last year, but I had the opportunity for another year, and I also couldn’t get results this year. As long as I have the opportunity but can’t take it, I accept this result. I am.”

Okazaki joined the group in 2004 with a free draft frame. He has supported the team, but has been out of the 1st Army stage for the two 19-20 seasons. “I’ve been doing it for 16 years, and I’m thankful to the team, and I’m full of gratitude to the fans who supported me,” he said. “I am disappointed in my performance in baseball. However, I do not regret the preparations and efforts that I have made to improve baseball by facing baseball myself.”

Yokoyama, who ranks first in the 2014 draft, won 2 wins in 2016, but signed a training contract starting in 2019. He was a controlled player at the end of September this year, but on October 4 he made a promotion. relief to the giant game, but had 2 hits and 2 runs in the first inning. They told him he was out of force and said, “I have an honest feeling that I am frank and I feel sorry.” “The result is not the previous one, which is the most regrettable part, but on the farm.” It was the first season that I was able to pitch without injury for the entire year, so I thought I did it for a year in such a place, but I couldn’t put down this impact in terms of content, so this result. I think it’s connected, “he continued.

Takano joined Hanshin after trading midway through season 19. He pitched in four games this season and had a 4.76 defense rate. “It’s a shame I came on a trade and played for the Tigers for a year and a half and couldn’t help at all.”

Fukunaga, who was sixth in the 2016 draft, has pitched a total of 6 games in 1 army as of last year, and this season he also pitched 1 game in 1 army. “I was a bit prepared, so I didn’t really think about it, and I was able to take it firmly, so I was able to organize my feelings.”

Takano and Fukunaga expressed their desire to continue working and said they would receive a test in the future.

It has been decided that they will leave the group Kosuke Fukudome, outfielder (43), Atsushi Nomi (41), and Hiroki Uemoto, infielder (34), who are out of the plan for the next season.
