Orix outfielder Ryoma Nishikawa (30) resumed rehabilitation at the team’s facility in Maishima, Osaka on the 15th. On the 14th, he received specialized treatment for his left ankle, which he injured in July, and said, “I think the pain and anxiety are gradually going away.” His progress is going well, and he has set his goal for next season as playing in every game for the first time.

“Being in starting line-up for the opening game is the minimum requirement. I’m going to prepare with the intention of playing in all of them.” His most games played were 138 in 2019 and last year when he was with Hiroshima. With the “minor surgery,” he feels confident that he can “improve” both his body and his performance. The fracture around his right shin, which he suffered in September, is almost completely healed. He has been putting off batting practice, saying “there will be more to do,” so it looks like he will be able to start practicing little by little.

The team is conducting a full investigation into infielder Bob Seymour (27), formerly of the Rays, who hit 30 Home Run in AAA this season, as a new foreign player. A contract agreement has been reported locally, but Nishikawa and Mori remain the core of the team. He’s fully prepared for his 11th year as a pro. The genius has high aspirations. (Osada Toru)
