An exhibition game between Chunichi and Tohoku Rakuten Eagles will be held at Vantelin Dome from 6:00 p.m. on March 13th.
The focus of Tohoku Rakuten Eagles is Rui Muneyama. Muneta struggled in the exhibition games with 7 At Bat in 31 hit for a batting average of .226 (before the game), but he has been gradually improving with 2 hit in the previous game.
Last season, Munesato played in 122 games with a batting average of .260, earning himself a Best Nine selection in his first year as a pro. He is aiming to be named Best Nine for the second consecutive year and win his first Mitsui Golden Glove Award, so he is aiming to improve his condition and get ready for the start of the season.
