Shoya Yamamoto Biography

Shoya Yamamoto is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on October 12, 1988 in Echizen, Japan. Shoya Yamamoto (Shan Ben Xiang Ye Yamamoto Shoya born on October 12 1988, in Takefu, Fukui) is a Japanese Nippon Professional Baseball pitcher for the Hanshin Tigers in Japan’s Central League.

He was a part of the western league (farm) games for the majority of the season. However, the final straw was when he made the squad on 14 July taking over Kosuke Katoh. The team made his debut on the 27th of July as a reliever against Hiroshima Carps, where he faced two batters before striking out one. The next day, however the pitcher gave up his first run as the pitching was 2/3 of an inning to the Swallows. Because of his difficulties pitching left- handed batters (3 hits in four at-bats) the team was able to demote him back to the ni-gun. He spent the rest of the season in the minors. He pitched for a total of 34 games. He finished the season with an 1.95 ERA.

On 4 July 2015 Yamamoto made his first professional start, pitching 5 innings in a 7-6 win against the Yokohama DeNA BayStars and earning the first win of his career.

The player was selected as the Hanshin Tigers’ 5th round selection in the annual draft for professional baseball.
