Can you answer? "Slugging percentage" and "Roof opening and closing time"

Next is the baseball grade. The formula for calculating "batting average" is "hit number ÷ At Bat", but which of the following formulas is for calculating "slugging percentage"?

(1) Base At Bat ÷ At Bat
(2) Number of bases At Bat ÷ hit
(3) Length At Bat ÷ hit number
(4) hit Numbers÷ At Bat

The correct answer is......

(1) Base At Bat ÷ At Bat

Perhaps because of the image of the name, it is often mistaken for (3) for slugging percentage calculation formula. In the first place, many people don't know what "base At Bat" is. The total number of bases is 1 for single hit, 2 for doble, 3 for triple, and 4 for Home Run, and the slugging percentage is divided by At Bat. Theoretically, the maximum slugging percentage is 4.000.

Next is the "dropped third strike" rule that you don't know about. When the batter struck out, if the catcher fails to catch the third strike pitch due to a wild pitch, etc., the hitter becomes runner and can run to first base, but there is a condition for that. Which of the following situations can you dropped third strike in?

(1) 1 out 1st base
(2) 1 out 1st and 3rd base
(3) No out bases loaded
(4) 2 outs 1st and 3rd base

The correct answer is......

(4) 2 outs 1st and 3rd base

If there are 0 outs or 1 out, dropped third strike is not allowed in the presence of runner on first base. This is because if the obligation to advance to first base runner occurs, it will also lead to a chance to take double play with force play. However, all options are filled with first base...... This is where the second condition applies. If 2 out, you can dropped third strike in any situation.

Next is a quiz looking back at this regular season's records: which team had the most walk-off home run in 2025?

(i) Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters
(2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles
(iii) Orix ・ (iv) The Buffaloes
④ ④ Fukuoka Softbank Hawks

The correct answer is ......

③ Orix ・ The Buffaloes (five )

The team that recorded 5 walk-off home run was Orix. The team with the most home run was Hokkaido Nippon-Ham, which may have been a bit surprising. In addition, nine walk-off home run were created in this season's Pacific League.

The breakdown of the 9 Orix is Kenya Wakatsuki player, Tomoya Noguchi Player, and Keita Nakagawa Player, Player, Player, Player, Player, Player, Player, Player, Player, Player, Player, Player Yuma Tongu player, and Taishi Hirooka 5 of the players. Hokkaido Nippon-Ham are Yuya Gunji player, and Reyes, Yua Tamiya player, and three by Northeast Rakuten Yuya Ogo player hit walk-off home run, the team's 2000th.

Finally, a little quiz about the stadium. How many minutes does it take to open or close the retractable roof of MIZUHO PayPay Dome the home stadium of Fukuoka Softbank?

①Approximately 10 minutes
②Approximately 20 minutes
③Approximately 30 minutes
④Approximately 40 minutes

The correct answer is...

②Approximately 20 minutes

MIZUHO PayPay Dome 's roof is the first retractable roof in Japan. The circular roof has three panels of the same size and shape, two of which rotate left and right to open and close. Incidentally, Escon Field, the home stadium of Hokkaido Nippon-Ham ES CON FIELD, also has a retractable roof, which can be opened and closed in about 25 minutes.

Both stadiums sometimes hold "Roof Open Days" where the roofs are open and games are held. Although games may be cancelled due to weather, if you have the opportunity, why not enjoy the open atmosphere of the stadium, which is different from usual?
