The disappearance of Kadokura, the infidelity of Lotte Kiyota… Professional baseball’s “21-year astonishing case list”!

The disappearance of a coach, the infidelity of a famous player, and a violent incident: ……. This season, the professional baseball world has been rocked by a number of troubles. This magazine has thoroughly covered the background of the incidents. We look back at the surprising special circumstances.

Ponta and Kadokura were seen camping out in a park in Yokohama.

The commotion began on May 15. Ken Kadokura, 48, a pitching coach for the second team of the Chunichi baseball team, was absent from practice on the same day without permission, left his smartphone and wallet behind, and went missing.

When the police received a request from his family to look for him, they initially thought that he might have been involved in an incident. However, they later decided that it was a private matter and there was no case.

The “private matter” was the affair…. Kadokura had a mistress who lived in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. She was a fan of Chunichi and they had dated while Kadokura was working alone.

Still, was it really necessary for him to “disappear”? In fact, there was a certain incident that occurred just before that. A baseball team official told us.

The husband of the mistress noticed her affair with Kadokura and filed a complaint with the team. When the team questioned him, Kadokura admitted it outright. Kadokura’s wife was furious. His disappearance followed.”

I wonder if Kadokura will ever tell the truth about this.

An Affair on a Dining Out Expedition While Covid-19 Infection Was Spreading

He was madly in love with Ako,” she said. The reason why Aiko continued the relationship, knowing it was an affair, was because she was attracted to his passion.

As for the current players, the infidelity of Ikuhiro Kiyota (35) of Lotte was revealed. Before the start of the season, a report in this magazine revealed his infidelity.

Kiyota married his high school classmate in 2012 and has a child. Behind the scenes, he had been having a three-year affair with a beautiful woman who looked like Mirei Kiritani.

In addition, it was discovered that Kiyota was having another affair with another woman. As we all know, Kiyota’s contract with Lotte was terminated due to his repeated scandals.

Behavior that the baseball team considered problematic

The incident took place behind the bench.

Before the exhibition match between Nippon-Ham and DeNA held in Hakodate, Hokkaido on August 4. Nippon-Ham’s leading gun, Sho Nakata (32), assaulted pitcher A, who was in his 20s.

A was a junior pitcher whom Nakata had taken a liking to, but he must have taken it too far. One day, when Nakata was tormenting him as usual, he protested against it. One day, when Nakata was tormenting him as usual, he rebelled against him, and Nakata got mad and put his hands on A.

The team took the situation seriously and announced the incident on August 11. Nakata was suspended indefinitely from all games for the first and second teams.

Behavior that used to be acceptable is now out of bounds in today’s world of strict compliance. Because of his lack of awareness, Nakata has put himself in a tight spot.

The players and coaches who poured oil on the fire of trouble because of their own laxity. Will they be able to reflect on the scandal and make the next season a year of recovery?
