Orix announced on May 7 the results of the "Orihige Vote" to select the players with the best beards for the "Bs Orihige Day 2025 supported by Buffalo Trace" at the Softbank three-game series (Kyocera Dome Osaka) starting May 9.

This year's theme, now in its second year, was "Bartenders with beards that look good. Eleven-year professional Yuma Mune infielder won the "first place" ranking, up from the second place last year, with many votes such as "I think I can do 'It's from the customer over there' smartly" and "The drinks served in that bearded style must be irresistibly delicious. Last year's fourth-place finisher Tomoya Mori catcher was promoted to second place after receiving votes from fans attracted by his wild beard and overwhelming presence, saying, "The dignity and aura of his beard is humongous. Hiroshi pitcher, who is in his second year of transferring from Chunichi in the current draft, came in third, saying, "He looks like he's going to serve an exotic cocktail with that smile.
