Bo Takahashi, who was active in the Kia Tigers as a helper foreign pitcher in the 2021 season, has advanced to Japan.

Nippon Professional Baseball Seibu Lions announced on the 16th that “We are pleased to inform you that we have decided to join pitcher Bo Takahashi. The uniform number will be” 42 “.” Hisanobu Watanabe, general manager of the baseball team, commented, “I’m still a young pitcher at the age of 24 and have endless possibilities. I’m thinking of it as a relief.”

Takahashi, a third-generation Japanese and Brazilian national, joined Kia in September, replacing Aaron Brooks. It was expected to be a good throw in the match against Gwangju SSG Landers on September 25, which was the KBO League debut match, and the match against Kiwoom Heroes on October 1. However, after that, he struggled with 4 points or more in 3 games. The results in the KBO League are 7 games, 1 win and 3 losses, with an average earned run of 4.91.

Takahashi commented, “I am very excited to be a member of Seibu Lions. I want to fulfill my role and contribute to the victory. I am looking forward to seeing my relatives living in Japan.”

Kia put Takahashi on the list of reserved players after the end of the regular season. From the time he got it, he had been paying attention as a “cultivating” foreign pitcher, but he did not re-contract.
