An exhibition game between Hokkaido Nippon-Ham and Saitama Seibu Lions will be held at ES CON FIELD from 6:00 p.m. on March 5th.

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters' Yuki Nomura is currently on a three-game hit. Last season, he played in 101 games, batting .268 with Home Run, but he didn't perform well in the first team throughout the year. This season, he aims to establish himself in the first team and achieve consistent results.

On the other hand, Saitama Seibu Lions 's Seiya Watanabe Masaya has also recorded hit in three consecutive games. In his rookie year last season, he made the opening starting line-up and played in 109 games, hitting 12 Home Run. This season, he is trying out third baseman, and expectations are high for his performance on both offense and defense.
