An exhibition game between Fukuoka Softbank and The Giants will be held at MIZUHO PayPay Dome on March 11th at 6 PM.
Fukuoka Softbank will be looking to Isami Nomura. Last season, Nomura played in a career-high 126 games, achieved double-digit Home Run for the first time since his rookie year, and led his team to victory with a game-winning solo home run in Game 5 of the "SMBC Japan Series 2025," making it a very successful season for him. Although he went hit in his last game, he has been steadily improving this season, batting .250 in the seven exhibition games so far. He will be looking to make sure he is in top condition to start the season.
Keep an eye on Isami Nomura who had a career-best season last year
