Softbank Hawks’ ace pitcher Kodai Senga renewed his contract with the Softbank Hawks for an estimated ¥600 million. The five-year contract marks a record-high annual salary for a Japanese pitcher. However, it can be changed at Senga’s discretion after playing the first year, which means expectations are high for the 28-year-old pitcher to become an international free agent the following year.
