“I don’t find a team that shrinks young players attractive.”
On the 21st, catcher Yuya Mori, who has exercised domestic FA rights from Seibu and has decided to transfer to Orix, responded to a telephone interview with the press. The decisive factor for the transfer to the league champion for the second consecutive year was “environment where you can relax”.
“I have nothing but gratitude to Seibu. I was a bad catcher (when I first joined the company), but they forced me to use them and made me grow to this point,” said Shinmiri. On the other hand, he revealed, “I was really worried, but the best thing was that I wanted to try it again in a new environment.”
He was born in Osaka Prefecture and dressed to make a “U-turn”, but explained, “I didn’t particularly want to go back to my hometown.” “As I was working in a new environment, when I thought about the environment that would suit me and where I could relax, I thought it would be Orix. He said, “I don’t feel the appeal of a team where young players wither.”
Orix also has catcher Kenya Wakatsuki and catcher Ryo Ishikawa who was traded from Nippon-Ham, but he said, “Of course, I will continue as a catcher. Wakatsuki and Ishikawa, both regular catchers, are classmates and rivals.” rice field.
