Orix On May 9, Ryo Ota infielder (24) is scheduled to return to the lineup at a farm practice game on May 10 against the Murachi Group's hardball baseball team (City Shinkin Bank). Hit by Pitch was hit in a game Seibu (Belluna D) on May 18, and was struck in the right wrist, causing him to be struck out of the lineup on May 21. He was unable to resume full-scale hitting practice before the game against Seibu (Hotto Kobe) on May 31, when he can be re-registered.

After that, Ota himself expressed his intention to aim for a return by taking things step by step, from tee batting indoors to hitting on a machine. Manager Kishida explained the current situation, saying, "I watched the video, and he's doing well in the rotation (of batting practice at the farm team)." While expressing concern about the rainout, saying, "The weather's a bit off...," he also stated, "I'm planning on playing in the development game (against the same team) on Tuesday (10th)."

After his withdrawal, he honestly said, "It's frustrating after all, because I was playing (in games) all the time. I want to come back soon." When asked about the possibility of him joining the first team immediately after his return to action on the 10th, the manager only said, "I think it will be based on his sense, but I don't think (the condition of the injured area) is that bad."

In his seventh season, he has posted impressive results as the starting second baseman with a batting average of .323, four Home Run, and 20 RBI. In the interim results of the All-Star fan vote, he received 338,600 votes and was ranked first in Pacific League second baseman category. We can't wait to see him play on the first team stage as soon as possible.
