Rakuten’s Makita has a good ERA of 0.33 at the farm
The NPB’s second force notification period has ended on the 29th. “SMBC Japan Series 2021”, in which Yakult became the best in Japan, ended on the 27th. The notification period was 28 days, and the deadline for Yakult and Orix, who had participated in the Japan Series, was 29 days.
A total of more than 100 athletes were notified in 12 teams, including the first out-of-strength notification period. Those who have decided to retire from active duty, those who aim to continue active duty in other teams, those who aim to re-contract as a training player with their team and aim to re-start, each is likely to become a force next season while standing at the crossroads of life Are there any players? I would like to pick up using data from DELTA Co., Ltd. (https://1point02.jp/), which analyzes using Sabermetrics indicators.
Rakuten veteran Kazuhisa Makita seems to have more needs. This season, he only pitched 17 games in one army, but in the Eastern League, he has recorded 2 wins, 1 defeat, 3 saves and an ERA of 0.33 in 29 games. The “tRA”, which shows an ERA independent of defense, is also good at 2.33, and it seems that it can still be a sufficient force.
Yudai Aranishi, Kazuyuki Kaneda, and Kazumasa Yoshida, who are out of force from Orix, are also interesting in the data. In the 2nd army, Aranishi has an ERA of 2.39 and Kaneda has an ERA of 2.83. Ichi Yoshida suffered at 7.66. However, looking at the “DER”, which shows the percentage of hits excluding home runs, it is quite low at .530 for Yoshida Ichi, .612 for Kaneda, and .642 for Aranishi. It can be read that he was being pulled by the fielder’s defense.
