On the 16th, Lotte lose 0-8 to Nippon-Ham in a match (Zozo Marine Stadium). Both pitching and batting were poor, and they were shutout game out by Nippon-Ham 's starting pitcher Fukuya Yamazaki.

On the 16th, on CS Fuji TV ONE's "Professional baseball News 2025," MC Motonobu Tanishige highlighted the catcher 'stolen base prevention rate as an issue for Lotte.

On this day, Lotte allowed Nippon-Ham to steal three stolen base, and the team's stolen base prevention rate was a poor .024. Akihiko Oya, who appeared as a commentator, said, "I would like pitcher to be a little more careful and hold onto the ball for longer. There are good and bad pickoff, so it may be a little easier for the opposing runner to get a head start, but they can get into a set and hold onto the ball for longer, or change the timing, etc."

He continued, "Another important thing is quickness. Unless the team works hard on this, the numbers (blockage rate) won't go up," proposing ways for pitcher to improve.
