◇ Hokkaido Nippon-Ham vs. Orix, third game (6th, ES CON FIELD)

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham 's Kota Yazawa hit the team's first solo home run.

Yazawa started as the second batter and center fielder. In the bottom of the first inning, with one out and no runner on base, he came up to bat for the first time. With count at 1-0, he hit a high fastball from the opposing starting pitcher, Yasuto Takashima, and hit Home Run since his rookie year.

Last season, Yazawa had the opportunity to play mainly as fielder in the second half of the season, but ended up with disappointing results of 2 hit in 18 At Bat-bats, a batting average of .111. This season, he hopes to make the most of his high potential and make it a season of great progress.
