It was officially decided on the 4th that Seibu Lions manager Fumiya Nishiguchi (53) will continue in his position next season.
On this day, after the final game of the season, team president Okumura made a formal request, which was readily accepted. The team fought hard in Class A in the first half of the season, but finished in fifth place with 63 wins, 77 losses, and 3 ties. Looking ahead to next season, his second year as manager, he said, “We won’t close the gap (with the top teams) just by playing defensive baseball. I want them to work hard on their physical abilities this fall.”
