Lotte hasn’t had a winner for most strikeouts in 28 years.
Pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who had won four pitching titles in three consecutive years until last season, has been moved to the Dodgers, and it looks like there will be tough competition for the starting pitcher title in the Pacific League this season. Expectations are high for Lotte pitcher Aki Sasaki’s “first title”. It had been 28 years since Lotte had a player win the title with the most strikeouts.

Sasaki finished with seven wins last season, including retiring in July due to a torn muscle in his left hip. He has never completed a season and still doesn’t have double-digit wins. However, in 2022, he not only became the youngest player in history to pitch a perfect game, but he also struck out 13 consecutive batters, setting a new Japanese record for consecutive strikeouts.
In March last year, he was selected for the Japanese national baseball team, “Samurai Japan”, and contributed to the WBC victory. DELTA Co., Ltd. (
Since Lotte pitcher Hideki Irabu won the title with most strikeouts in 1995, no pitcher has held the title for 28 years, the worst for 12 teams. Is Sasaki guaranteed to win the title as long as he completes the season? Although he is 22 years old and has achieved many great results, he has yet to win an NPB title. It is said that he hopes to move to the major leagues as soon as possible, but he wants to build a track record before moving to the United States.
