An exhibition game between Tokyo Yakult and Orix Buffaloes will be held at Jingu Stadium from 3:00 p.m. on March 13th.

Orix Buffaloes should keep an eye on Taishi Hirooka. Last season, Hirooka played in 118 games, hitting .254 and reaching the required number of at-bats for the first time. He has also been performing well in the exhibition games, hitting .333 with 3 At Bat 9 at hit so far.

This game will be against his former team, the The Swallows, at Jingu Stadium. Can he show off defense strong hitting and multi-position defensive skills against his former team?
