On the 3rd, Softbank won their final home game against Orix (Mizuho PayPay) with a comfortable 10-2 victory. Ryoya Kurihara and Yuki Yanagita hit Home Run runs, scoring 14 hit 10 runs. Taisei Makihara reached the required number of at-bats for the first time in his 15th year as a pro, making him the team's batting hitter.

Regarding Makihara, who has almost become the first hitter from the development team to become the batting champion, commentator Tomotaka Sakaguchi, who appeared on CS Fuji TV ONE's "Professional baseball News" broadcast on the same day, said, "You could say his final comeback was impressive, and I think it's difficult to become the batting hitter when batting order is constantly changing, so I think it's very valuable."

Fellow commentator Takahiro Saeki commented, "He wasn't in the opening starting line-up starting lineup. He came on as a substitute and got his first hit of the season, and then, although it wasn't a comeback, he became the batting hitter. During his hero interview during the season, he also sent a message to his late grandmother, and I'm sure she's very happy in heaven. It's really great, isn't it?"

MC Motonobu Tanishige expressed surprise at the small number of Walk, saying, "He only had seven walk. I was surprised. It's rare to reach the required number of at-bats and then get seven walks..."
