Tatsuro Hamada (濱田 達郎, Hamada Tatsuro, born August 4, 1994 in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan) is a professional Japanese baseball player. He plays pitcher for the Chunichi Dragons.

During his time in high school, Hamada was rated alongside Shintaro Fujinami (now of the Hanshin Tigers) and Shohei Otani (now of the Los Angeles Angels) as one of the top 3 pitchers in his age bracket.

Early career

As a high school pitcher, Hamada was rated alongside Shintaro Fujinami and Shohei Otani as the "big 3" pitchers of the koshien tournament.[1][2][3]

Professional career

Chunichi Dragons

2016

After performing well in spring training, Hamada earned a spot in the starting rotation for the 2016 season where on 30 March he faced up to the Hiroshima Carp in an 11-3 loss.[4] Hamada would give up 5 walks, 8 hits and 7 earned runs in his 4 innings pitched.[5]

Hamada would fail to make any further appearances with the first team in the 2016 season and as such had his contract downgraded to a trainee status for the upcoming 2017 season.[6]
