Rakuten infielder Rui Rui Muneyama is currently tied for third place with 109 hit and is determined to break into the team's hit record for most hits. He has reached the required number of at-bats for the season, and has recorded hit in numerous at-bats, saying, "I go up to the plate thinking, 'I'll do this next time,' and I keep doing that over and over again." He intends to play until the end, always striving for change and growth.
His 109 hit put him on par with Obunda's in 2020. First, he wants to surpass Watanabe Nao's 110 hit in 2007, and then aim to reach Mogi's 118 in 2016. He needs nine hit in the remaining three home games, including the two consecutive games Seibu starting on the 3rd and the game Orix on the 5th. Compared to the beginning of the season, "I've been able to get a good idea of pitcher 's image after playing against them so many times. I think it's different now that I can think about and try different things in the preparation stage before I step up to the plate." He will turn all of his experiences this season into strength and hit solid hits at Rakuten Mobile.
