On March 15th at 1:00 PM, an exhibition game between Chiba Lotte Marines and Saitama Seibu Lions will be held at Zozo Marine Stadium.

Chiba Lotte Marines Ryusei Terachi The player executed a successful squeeze in the bottom of the ninth inning with one out and a runner on walk-off, securing win for his team on the 14th. Although he has struggled somewhat in the preseason with a batting average of .188, he has recorded hit in two consecutive games in this series. He will continue to perform his assigned role well and aim to improve his form.

Saitama Seibu Lions Seiya Watanabe Keep an eye on this player. Watanabe hit a timely doble in the game against Hanshin Tigers on the 10th and his first home run run of the preseason in the game against Chiba Lotte Marines on the 13th. This season will be challenging as he has been converted to third baseman, but we can expect his powerful hitting to remain unchanged.
