LHB SoftBank Hawks

Makihara joins as a replacement for outfielder Seiya Suzuki. Like two other Hawks on the team, Takuya Kai and Ukyo Shuto, Makihara turned pro on a non-roster developmental contract. Expected to be SoftBank's regular center fielder this season, he is also a versatile middle infielder and an excellent base runner but lacks power and plate discipline.
