From 13 o'clock on March 13th, an open match between Chiba Lotte Marines and Saitama Seibu Lions will be held on Zozo Marine Stadium. Pacific League from March 27th Both teams will also fight in the opening three consecutive matches.

Chiba Lotte Marines is scheduled to start the second draft rookie Kaidai Mori pitcher. His last appearance in the open game was against Tohoku Rakuten Eagles on the 5th, and he pitched 1 hit and no runs in 3 innings. As he continues to fight, he is gradually increasing the number of inning, and he seems to have a good feeling, saying, "I wonder if it's going well." "I want to attack while leading the strike," he said.

On the other hand, Saitama Seibu Lions, Nevin, who had been temporarily absent during the camp, returned from the previous card match Hanshin Tigers. On the 11th, he hit a timely hit that became the first hit in the OP game. On the other hand, on the same day, it was 3 struck out, and the result was a little unsettling. As in the previous year, Nevin is expected to play an active role as a key player. Can I improve my condition in the remaining period?
