ソフトバンクからトレード加入　ベイスターズに加入した尾形投手と井上選手が入団会見

Broadcast on May 14, 2026 Two days after the shocking announcement, pitcher Takato Ogata and outfielder Tomoya Inoue, who joined the Yokohama DeNA BayStars in a trade from the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, held their introductory press conference. Takato Ogata: "I was very excited to be able to play baseball with a new team, so I'm really looking forward to it." Tomoya Inoue: "I think this will be a turning point in my baseball career, so I want to make the most of this and do my best." Ogata, a 26-year-old from Miyagi Prefecture, is in his ninth year with the team and was drafted first overall in the 2017 developmental draft by SoftBank. He was registered as a regular player in 2020 and contributed to the league championship last season by appearing in 38 games as a relief pitcher. The right-handed pitcher, whose fastest pitch is 159 km/h, revealed that he has been entrusted with a starting role with the BayStars and vowed to win the league championship and the Japan Series in his new team. Takato Ogata (Pitcher) "This is my first time as a starting pitcher, but I will definitely adjust well and do my best to win the league championship and the Japan Series." Meanwhile, infielder Tomoya Inoue, in his sixth year with the team, is a 23-year-old from Osaka Prefecture. He joined SoftBank in 2020 as the first overall pick in the draft from Hanasaki Tokuei High School in Saitama. Last season, he was a key player in the farm team, recording a batting average of .276, 6 home runs, and 62 RBIs. This promising slugger, who said he wants to contribute to the championship with his batting, aims to establish himself in the first team first. Tomoya Inoue "In Fukuoka, I wasn't able to really contribute as a first-team player, and although we won the championship, I wasn't able to. So, with the BayStars, I want to become a first-team player and do my best to win the league championship and the Japan Series." [News Link Online] Delivering news from Kanagawa Prefecture!
