An exhibition game between Fukuoka Softbank and the Chunichi will be held at MIZUHO PayPay Dome on March 17th at 6 PM.
One player to watch for Fukuoka Softbank is Yoshiyasu Sasakawa. He has played in 12 exhibition games, batting .229 with 1 Home Run 3 RBI. Last season, he led Western League League with 12 Home Run 64 RBI, but in the first team, he only managed a .213 batting average in 26 games, failing to deliver the desired results. This season, he is aiming for a breakout season, and his main goal is to impress in the exhibition games and make the opening day roster.
