The coach, who is in second place in the league and ahead of the postseason, decided to resign. Even though the club offered to renew the contract for two years, it did not break its stubbornness. Yokohama BayStars coach Daisuke Miura (52) will leave the team after this season. Usually, they step down unintentionally because of poor grades, but there are different reasons. He said he would take responsibility for the failure to win the Central League, which he originally aimed for. Japanese media first reported it, and owner Tomoko Namba confirmed it.

This season, Yokohama faced the Yomiuri Giants in a neck-and-neck race for second place. He slowed down in the middle of the season and showed his back at the end. In 22 games held in September, he won 16 games (one draw and five losses) to bring down the Yomiuri Giants.

Yokohama won the Hiroshima Carp match on the 28th and confirmed its ranking. Owner Namba failed to win the league title on SNS on the 29th, but CS (Climax Series) will be able to start in Yokohama. Miura has announced his intention to step down and accepted it,' he wrote. Yokohama will start CS in second place behind the Hanshin Tigers.




Advance to the postseason for the fourth consecutive year starting in 2022. Even with this kind of performance, he is stepping down after five years. Yakult Swallows coach Shingo Takatsu and Chiba Lotte Marines coach Masato Yoshii were also confirmed to step down after the end of the season. However, Yakult and Chiba Lotte are the last teams in the Central and Pacific leagues. It's a difficult situation to get confidence again.

Miura is a right-hander legend with his uniform number '18' permanently replaced. He played in Yokohama for 25 seasons until the age of 43 and pitched in 535 games. 2005~2006

He has exceeded 200 innings for two consecutive years, and has pitched more than 100 innings for 15 consecutive seasons since 1995. He has 172 wins (184 losses), including 23 shutouts. It is noticeable that he recorded '7 total losses' as the opening pitcher.

After retiring in 2016, he took an elite leadership course. While serving as a commentator for broadcasting and newspapers, he served as an advisor to the Yokohama club. Three years after his retirement, he returned to the field as a first-team pitching coach. After serving as the head coach of the second division, he took the helm of Yokohama in November 2020.




He was a great success as a leader. He finished last in his first year and led him to the A-Class (1st to 3rd out of 6 teams) for the fourth consecutive year. It went up to second place in 2022. He played fall baseball in third place between 2023 and 2024. The only thing I'm sad about is winning the league.

Last year, however, Yokohama produced a series of miraculous demagogues. He started the postseason in third place and advanced to the Japan Series by beating second-place Hanshin and first-place Yomiuri. It also toppled the Softbank Hawks, the Pacific League winner and the highest winning percentage in both leagues. He gave up the first and second games and won four consecutive games to lift the Japan Series trophy.

If you play two regular-season games, it's fall baseball. Yokohama will start the CS First Stage (best of three games) with Yomiuri on the 11th. The entire match will be held at Yokohama Stadium on the home turf of Yokohama.
