An exhibition game between Tohoku Rakuten Eagles and Yokohama DeNA will be held at Shizuoka Kusanagi Stadium from 1:00 p.m. on March 8th.
Tohoku Rakuten Eagles 's third-year player, Takumi Aono, made his first appearance in an exhibition game in the previous game. He hit a timely doble to score the first run. Last season, he played in 80 games for the minor leagues, but did not have a chance to play for the major leagues. He hopes to make an active impression with his batting and make his first appearance for the major leagues.
Daisuke Nakashima also recorded three infield hit in the previous game. Last season, he played in 124 games, batting .266 and stolen base. Will he be able to perform well this season in all areas of his game?
