The Hiroshima Carp have accepted slugging outfielder Seiya Suzuki's request to enter the posting system for a chance to move to the majors, officials with the Central League club said Tuesday.
Widely recognized as one of the country's top players, the 27-year-old led the CL in batting and on-base percentage this season, his ninth in Nippon Professional Baseball.
Suzuki told reporters after his meeting with team officials at Mazda Stadium in Hiroshima that the Carp were supportive of his decision to leave Japan and that he was grateful for their willingness to let him use the posting system.
