Chiba Lotte Marines 's preview start is Kazuya Ojima pitcher. In his last appearance, March 29, against Saitama Seibu Lions, he allowed runs from the start, and after the second inning, he continued to carry runner in scoring position after the second inning, and left the mound with 3 hit 4 Hit by Pitch 1 runs in the 4th inning. In Fukuoka Softbank games last season, he was Home Run in five of his six appearances. I want to be wary of one shot and win my first win of the season.

On the other hand, for Fukuoka Softbank, C. Stewart Jr. pitcher will start mound. Last time, which was his first appearance in the first team since the 2024 season, he went 5 innings with 5 hit 6 strike out 3 runs to get a white star. It will be the first time they have played against Chiba Lotte Marines since August 31 of the same year, but what kind of pitch will they show?
