Softbank Hawks outfielder Tomoya Masaki participated in the team practice at Mizuho PayPay Dome. He took at-bats during a live BP session for Moinelo, who is scheduled to start the first game of the CS Final Stage on the 14th. In his first at-bat, the fourth pitch after a 2-ball, 1-strike count resulted in a Hit by Pitch to his left elbow. He had an expression of agony, causing those around him to worry, but he said "I'm okay," as the ball hit his elbow guard and did not lead to a serious injury. In his second at-bat, he drew a Walk.
