An exhibition game between Orix and Yokohama DeNA will be held at Kyocera Dome Osaka from 2:00 p.m. on March 9th.

Orix has scored two or less runs in four consecutive exhibition games, and is currently on a four-game losing streak. The player to watch in the batting lineup is No. 1 draft pick rookie Yusuke Mugitani. He started in the previous game (8th vs. The Giants) as the second batter and center fielder, and got his first hit of the exhibition game in his second at-bat. Will he be able to make his presence felt in the struggling lineup and win a spot in the opening starting line-up?
