Japanese media “Sports Hoch” said on the 26th, “Many players of the Rakuten Golden Eagles complained about being bullied by Tomohiro Anraku,” adding, “Rakuten decided to stay home to Anraku and postpone the renewal negotiations indefinitely.”
This is shocking. According to multiple Japanese media including Sports Hoch and Sankei Sports, one player was hit in the head by Anraku and felt pain in the cervical spine. Although the training was affected, the athlete couldn’t talk to the trainer because he was afraid of further damage.
There was also a sexual harassment issue. “According to the testimony of several players, Anraku took off the young player’s underwear in the locker room and made him expose his lower body,” Sankei Sports said. “He persistently called the player who refused his invitation to eat. He had been asking about his plan for a month, but if he was rejected, he cursed at the player.”
Rakuten immediately launched an investigation. The investigation was conducted on more than 100 people including coaches, coaches, players, and staff. The investigation is now underway to find out if they have been bullied, witnessed, or heard from Anraku. The investigation is now underway to find out if there have been any cases of bullying by other players. The team plans to closely review the investigation results and have a conversation with Anraku after 27 days.
The president of Rakuten told the media on the 25th, “I can’t tell you at this stage. I want to talk to you properly when all the results of the investigation come out,” he said. “The reason (I told Anraku to stay home) is that if you hold various events, you will have contact with many people. In some cases, there may be contact between players.”
Regarding the affected players, he added, “We need people around us to support them. We will continue to keep in touch with them and keep them calm.”
Anraku joined Rakuten as the first round draft pick in 2014. He pitched in 57 games this season, recording 3 wins, 2 losses, 10 holds, 47 ⅓s, 32 strikeouts, 26 walks and an ERA of 3.04.
Anraku had been suspected of bullying players even before he entered the professional league. However, he denies the allegation.
What will happen to Anraku? Japanese professional baseball teams must submit their list of players withheld by the 30th. If Anraku is excluded from the list, he will become a free agent.
