オリックス・横山楓投手が１８日、秋季キャンプ中の高知市内で契約交渉に臨み、７００万円増の年俸１４００万円でサインした（金額は推定）。２１年ドラフト６位で入団し、昨年までの３年間で１軍登板は４試合。昨年オフに一度戦力外通告を受け、プロ４年目の今季は育成選手として再出発していた。入山と同じ７月３０日に支配下登録されると、１４試合で２勝４ホールド、防御率１・１０の好成績。「やってきたことをしっかり出せた。投球内容を評価していただき、良かったと思います」と笑みを浮かべた。
A right-handed pitcher, his weapon is a fastball exceeding 150 km/h that he delivers with a uniquely small take-back. “I’m filled with gratitude to the many people who have supported me. I have to work harder. I think I have something that is unique to me, so I want to compete in that area,” he said, setting his goal for next season as a member of the opening day first team and pitching in 50 games.
