Masataka Yoshida (吉田 æ­£å°Âš Yoshida Masataka, born July 15, 1993) is a Japanese professional baseball outfielder for the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB). He started his professional career with Orix Buffaloes of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB).



On December 7, 2022, Yoshida was posted by Orix and made available to all 30 Major League Baseball (MLB) teams, opening a 30-day period to negotiate a contract.[4] On December 15, Yoshida signed a five-year contract with the Boston Red Sox,[5][6] reportedly worth $90 million.[7] In January 2023, he was ranked 87th in the Baseball America list of baseball's top 100 prospects, as the publication includes NPB players joining MLB in their rankings.[7] That ranking was considered "alarmingly low" by Peter Abraham, the Red Sox beat writer for The Boston Globe.[7] On April 23, 2023, Yoshida hit two home runs in the same inning, including a grand slam, in a game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Yoshida was named AL Player of the Week for the week of May 1–7, having gone 12-for-25 with a 1.319 OPS and not a single swing and a miss in this period.[8]
