Kenta Maeda announced his plans to transition back to Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan following the end of the 2025 MLB season.
He has struggled throughout his time in the majors and aims to regain stability in his home country.
With a successful history in Japan and a notable MLB career, Maeda’s return to NPB could lead to a resurgence in his performance.
He has spent a significant time in the minors this season, failing to reclaim his former MLB performance.
His family has relocated back to Japan for stability during his inconsistent MLB journey.
Maeda’s career MLB ERA is 4.20 over 986.2 innings, and he has played 226 games in the majors.
