Arrived in Japan in June… 4 wins, 1 loss, 10 saves, 0.91 ERA in 29 pitches
On the 25th, Softbank announced the acquisition of Roberto Osuna, who became a free contract for Lotte this season. It was determined that the dress number was “54”. A powerful assistant has joined the relief team for the first league title in three years next season.
Osuna, 27, from Mexico, has the most saves in 2019 with the Astros. He came to Japan in June this year with a record 155 big saves in total. At Lotte, he was initially appointed as a set-upper, and since August, he has been a guardian. He played in 29 games, recorded 4 wins, 1 loss, 10 saves, and an incredible 0.91 ERA. He was out of the list of proposed contract players announced on the 2nd of this month, and it was a free contract.
Here are the team’s comments:
“It is an honor and a great excitement to be part of Softbank, who are devoting all their efforts to winning the championship next season. Our mission is to win the league first, and then regain the number one position in Japan. For the sake of the team and the fans, I promise to do my best in every practice and every game.
Together with my teammates, coaching staff, and everyone at the front desk, I would like to bring the Hawks 12th No. 1 in Japan to the fans. I’m looking forward to playing while feeling the incredible energy the fans bring to the PayPay Dome.”
