Daisuke Miura (三浦 大輔, born December 25, 1973) is a professional baseball player from Kashihara, Nara, Japan. He is a starting pitcher for the Yokohama BayStars.
In 2005, he led the Central League in strikeouts (177) and ERA (2.52). Miura became a free agent after an injury-plagued 2008 season. Both the BayStars and the Hanshin Tigers, the team that he had rooted for as a child, were bidding for his services. Miura decided to return to the BayStars, who offered him a 4-year contract worth 1 billion yen (about $10 million USD), as opposed to the Tigers, who were offering three years and 900 million yen. Miura's new contract practically ensures that the 34-year old pitcher will finish his career in Yokohama.
Miura is known for his success against the Tigers in his career. Even in his worst seasons, Miura has had some of his best games against the Tigers, particularly at Koshien Stadium.
He joined the Japanese Olympic baseball team for the 2004 Summer Olympics, and won a bronze medal. His nickname is "Hama no Bancho".
