On the 30th, Seibu Lions outfielder Tyler Nevin became the fastest player in the league to reach 100 hit. With about 50 games remaining in the season, he expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "I hope to aim for even greater heights in the future."
On the 30th, he started as the fourth hitter and first starting line-up in the game against Orix (Kyocera Dome), hitting his 99th hit of the season. In his fourth at-bat in the eighth inning, he reached base with hit to center fielder, deflecting Perdomo's two seam fastball. This was his memorable 100th hit.
Nevin, who reached 100 hit on the same day, was the first in the league to do so, just a few minutes before Rakuten 's Murabayashi. He continues to thrive as the No. 4 batter for a team currently in fifth place. "Of course, there's still the rest of the season, but I'm very happy that I've been able to achieve this result after steadily working hard up to this point, and I hope to continue aiming for even greater heights in the future. Personally, I don't know if it's too early for me, but I'll keep doing what I need to do to achieve these kinds of results," he said with a serious expression.
