On November 22, there was a selection meeting for the Sawamura Award, which is given to the starting pitcher who was most active in professional baseball this year, and Orix’s Yoshinobu Yamamoto was selected. This was as much an iron plate as Shohei Ohtani’s MVP.
Let’s review the criteria for the Sawamura Award again.
1) 15 wins or more, 2) 150 strikeouts or more, 3) 10 complete games or more, 4) ERA 2.50 or less, 5) 200 pitches or more, 6) 25 pitches or more, 7) Win rate 60% or more.
Recently, in addition to these 7 items, the ratio of the number of QS to the number of pitches is also to be referred to. QS (Quality Start) is the minimum responsibility of the starting pitcher. In the case of MLB, he throws 6 innings or more and has an earned run of 3 or less, but in the Sawamura Award, he throws 7 innings or more and has an earned run of 3 or less. There is.
One of the pitchers who cleared this standard as much as possible in the Central League and the Pacific League will be selected for the Sawamura Award.

No player has cleared all 7 items. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was unable to clear the two items of complete game and number of pitches, but the other items reached the standard, and in addition, he was the first in the QS%.
Yudai Ohno and Masahiro Tanaka couldn’t clear even one
In 2nd place, Yuya Yanagi couldn’t clear 3 items, the number of wins, the number of complete games, and the number of pitches, and cleared the other 4 items. Koyo Aoyagi of Hanshin has cleared three items: ERA, number of pitches, and winning percentage. The results of other players will drop sharply. Hiroya Miyagi, who played an important role as the left ace with Yoshinobu Yamamoto at Orix this season, only cleared the winning percentage.
