[This season's results] Hokkaido Nippon-Ham (tied for 3rd place) vs. Yokohama DeNA (8th place) 1 win, 0 losses
Hokkaido Nippon-Ham 's Hinode Hoshino Hinode is one to watch. He has played in four farm games so far this season, batting first in the game on March 20th, showing how high expectations are for him. However, he had a batting average of .122 in 32 games last season, and only .100 in 10 games this season, so he still has some work to do. Will he be able to improve his consistency and make his presence known as he continues to play?
Ryosuke Kodama had some issues with his batting last season, but he only got two hit in the last game.

Saitama Seibu is keeping an eye on Ryosuke Kodama. In the game on the 28th, he started as the sixth batter and short stop, and hit hit to left field in his first at-bat. In his third at-bat, he also got an infield hit to second base, giving him two hit. Kodama is known for defense and speed, but he also has issues with his batting, having only 9 hit At Bat-bats in 32 games last season, for a batting average of .180. He wants to improve his batting and move up to the first team.
Keep an eye on Naoki Sato who had two hit in the previous game. Haruto Watanabe is active on both offense and defense.
At Tamahome Stadium Chikugo, the third round match between Western League regular season and Orix Fukuoka Softbank will be held at 1 p.m.
【Head-to-head record this season】Fukuoka Softbank (2nd) vs. Orix (4th) 2-0
Fukuoka Softbank keep an eye on Naoki Sato players. He hit a two-run shot in the second in the game on the 28th and went 2-hit in the previous game. He has been in good form on the farm with a .356 batting average. He will continue to appeal to the leaders and aim for promotion to the first army.
On the other hand, Orix, who are on a losing streak, have high hopes for Haruto Watanabe players. In the previous game, he showed his strength with a 2-hit-2 stolen base. In the bottom of the seventh, he made the most of his speed and made a fine play in the middle of the defense. I want to be active in running, offense and defense, and break into the outfielder battle of the army.
