Sachi Sakurai has pitched excellently (2010-2014) with an ERA of 1.81 or lower each season. Sachi was a 2012 and 2014 all-star. Sachi won the 2012 and 2014 LRS-JPN SSG Umai Kabeyaku Award.
David Robert hit well for three seasons (2012-2014), including AVG of .281 or better, with Shin Seiki before retiring on January 1, 2014.
Ton Kichida hit respectably in one season for Shin Seiki before being traded to Neo-Tokyo (January 26, 2011), then back to Shin Seiki where he has not hit well for 4 seasons (2011-2014).
