Nippon-Ham 's third-round draft pick, infielder Ruan Otsuka (22) from Tokai University, and first-round development pick, infielder (22) from Hokkai Gakuen University, will accompany the first team until the game Rakuten Eagles on the 12th (Shizuoka).

The seven new players had temporarily joined the first team in time for the unveiling of the new players at ESCON on July 7. Tsunetani started at "2nd base and 3rd base" against Lotte (ESCON) on the 7th and scored two runs triple. Otsuka started at "No.4, Yugi" and recorded 2 Walk 1 stolen base runs, successfully appealing and winning the "1st team extra inning".

Tsuneya said, "Because of the position I'm in, I have nothing to lose, so I'll just go for it with all my might. I'm not particularly afraid of failure, and I think the results are coming little by little as I play boldly, so I want to continue making a good impression in the remaining two games." He is clinging to the first team with all his might in order to be placed under the control of the team as soon as possible.

In addition, Kamikawabata and Yamagata, who had temporarily joined the second team to gain playing time, are expected to rejoin the first team for the game against Rakuten Eagles on the 11th (Shizuoka).
