11/11 (Mon) 9:06 Published As expected, social media has been abuzz with controversy surrounding Lotte’s Roki Sasaki (22), who has been selected to play in the majors through posting. “I wondered if I was uncomfortable with Sasaki Roki’s challenge to MLB, but I think it’s because I’m a fan of Japanese professional baseball, so I don’t like Sasaki’s actions of looking down on NPB, and I’m annoyed that he makes fun of something I like. It’s a very simple emotion.” “He couldn’t even maintain the rotation properly for a year, and now he can only sign a minor league contract with Lotte with almost no transfer fee. He doesn’t really feel like he wants to repay Lotte for the overprotective care they gave him from his first year, and he’s only thinking about going to the majors as soon as possible.” Meanwhile, Chiba Governor Toshihito Kumagai also expressed his complicated feelings on his official website. “There must have been a lot of communication between the team and the player himself, so I can’t say anything more. I hope he makes it to the big leagues. A player’s career is limited, so I think it’s important that each player’s dreams come true.”
But at the same time, “As someone who wishes for the development of Japanese professional baseball, I want it to be a given that players’ challenges to the major leagues will leave a solid legacy for their team, and ultimately for Japanese professional baseball. 》 and also requested that the rules for the posting system be reviewed from various perspectives. 》he requested. Although there are some who sympathize with and support Sasaki’s attitude of pursuing his dreams, the reality is that there are an overwhelming number of negative voices, and these are the ones that are gaining sympathy. Kyodo News, which mainly publishes breaking news articles, also reported under the headline, “Lack of achievements: transfer undeniable; four years of experience unable to lead team to victory,” that “He will be moving to a new arena without achieving results worthy of the potential that everyone has come to respect. 》《10 wins is the most they have won this season, and their overall total is 29 wins. With no experience of winning, it is hard to say he has made a significant contribution. “There’s no denying the feeling that they are rushing to realize their dream,” he said.

>>4 The brothel team that made a secret deal with a minor, went back on it, tried to keep him and sell him at a high price Don’t forget to remember the names of those who are on Lotte’s side.
If Sasaki is hated this much, he’ll have to go to the majors no matter what. It’ll be hard for him to stay in Japan, and he probably won’t come back to Japan.
Thanks to Major League Baseball (Ohtani), baseball itself is getting some attention, so I think it’s like spitting in the face of evil to treat Major League Baseball as an enemy.
Hideki Kuriyama was a talented player who managed Ohtani well and sent him to the majors. When Ohtani was with the Ham Fighters, he lived in the players’ dormitory, but he needed Kuriyama’s permission to leave the dormitory. He said it was to prevent bad guys from coming after him.
The closed nature and provincial mentality of Japanese baseball. If they say Japanese baseball is turning into a minor league, then they should raise wages by a larger order of magnitude. It should be an industry people look up to.
The meaning behind the “frozen expression” that pitcher Sasaki Roki showed after the draft AERA 2019/10/21 Even at the expense of Koshien, the coach stuck to his beliefs for Sasaki’s future, the whole of Japan debated, and the lottery decision was made to send him to Chiba Lotte. The moment Sasaki’s frozen expression the moment the team was decided caused a stir. It was exactly like Sasaki’s frozen expression when he was selected by Lotte, when his baseball career that he had pursued so hard and built up up to that point came to a standstill. It took an unnaturally long time for Sasaki Roki to sign a contract, as he was the last of the 12 draft-selected players to be under contract with the team.
>>26 When I watch this on YouTube, all I see are comments like “Maybe Sasaki is nervous because he was drafted into the pro baseball team he’s always dreamed of playing for,” “Thank you for coming to Lotte!” and “Lotte’s pride.”
“It’s really a shady business” Lotte announces Sasaki Roki’s posting the day after the deadline for fan club renewal, sparking outrage: “Their methods are too dirty” The Lotte baseball team is in trouble.
