On the 7th, Nippon-Ham announced that Takuya Nakashima will remain with the team without exercising his domestic free agent rights.

Nakajima is infielder joined the team as the fifth pick in the 2008 draft and is now in his 17th year as a professional. He played in 105 games in 2012, establishing himself as a regular in the first team, and in 2014, he earned himself a regular spot thanks to his tenacious batting style that made opposing pitcher uncomfortable. In 2015, he was stolen base leader and was named to the Best Nine, and in 2016 he contributed to the team’s league championship and Japan Series crown. Although his playing opportunities have decreased in recent years, this season he appeared in 32 games, batting .333 with one RBI.
