[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report]The Seibu Lions were swept out by the SoftBank Eagles in the first round of the Climax Series. This year’s season ended. The 63-year-old supervisor Tsuji Yanhiko also announced his resignation after the game. According to Japanese media, there are many candidates for the new coach. It may be Matsui Kazuo, the chief coach of the First Army.
Tsuji Yanyan took over Seibu Bingfu in 2017. In the past 6 years, he has led the team to enter the A-segment class 5 times. He has accumulated 432 wins, 372 losses and 31 draws in his coaching career. As soon as he took office, he brought the original B-segment class team into the 3rd class. In the playoffs of 2018 and 2019, he led Seibu to win the Yanglian League for two consecutive years, but they all lost to Softbank in the final round of the climax series. This year, he led the team to 72 wins and 68 losses, ranking first in the Yanglian League. The 3rd position entered the playoffs again after 3 years, but still lost to Softbank in the first round of the climax series.
During his tenure in office, Tsuji Yanyan boldly used new recruits. Last year, he reused Taiwanese fielder Wu Nianting and received good results. Wu Nianting played a career year last season and played 130 games. In a single season, 10 hits, 101 AHs, and 48 RBIs are all career highs in a single season. Season playing time was compressed, played in 94 games, contributed 5 homers and 28 RBIs, and the batting average was 27%.
