Fukudome was the top hitter in 2002 when he was devoted to the outfield, and Tsutsugo recorded the first 30% and 20 hits.
The defensive position registration of Akira Neo, who is expected to be in the 4th year of China and Japan, has been changed from infielder to outfielder. He joined the team as an infielder in the first place in the draft in 2018, and until last season he was in the form of a combination in the infield and outfield, but this season he is devoting himself to the outfield from the camp and is competing for the regular right wing. Here, we will take up the players who have been reassigned from infielders to outfielders and have broken in the past.
The first thing that comes to mind is the outfielder Kosuke Fukudome, who is celebrating his 24th year in Japan and the United States this season. He joined Nippon Life in the first draft (reverse nomination), and since 1999, the first year, he has had the opportunity to participate mainly as a shortstop, but his anxiety about defense has not been wiped out, and he has been devoting himself to the outfielder since 2002. He made a leap in the same year, with him becoming the top hitter. He is close to 51 hits to 2500 hits in Japan and the US, and 49 hits to 2000 hits in NPB.
Pirates Yoshitomo Tsutsugo outfielder joined Yokohama (DeNA) in 2009 as an infielder from Yokohama High School in the first place in the draft. He initially defended first or third base, but was converted to the outfield in 2014, his fifth year. In the same year, he recorded his first batting average of 30% and 20 home runs (22). He has been active in 2016, winning two home runs and RBIs, and has been playing in major leagues since 20.
Seiya Suzuki, an outfielder who is aiming for a major transfer from Hiroshima using the posting system, is active as an ace when he is at Nishogakusha University. He was nominated second in Hiroshima as an infielder at the 2012 Draft Conference. He played 97 games in 2015, the third year when his defensive position registration was changed to an outfielder. He led to a break in the following 16 years.
