Original: プロ野球 fa

Seibu Lions right-hander Takahashi Mitsunari has obtained overseas free agency, and SoftBank Hawks franchise officer Koji Akiyama has already reached out, calling him an attractive pitcher. The quick approach is drawing attention as the offseason free agent market in Nippon Professional Baseball opens, with fans watching which clubs pursue him and whether he will consider staying in Japan or testing his value abroad.
