The Saitama Seibu Lions are keeping a close eye on Takeya Nakamura. In the previous game, he started as the cleanup doble and DH hitter, and in the first inning, he hit a timely double to give his team the lead. In his second at-bat, with two outs and a runner on first base, he hit another timely doble, leading the offense. The veteran, who is entering his 25th professional season, is steadily preparing for a promotion to the first team.

Developmental draft pick #5, Takahiro Suzuki, got his first regular season hit in the previous game. Can Seiya Yokoyama find signs of recovery?

Fukuoka Softbank The top ranked rookie in the developmental ranks, the 5th ranked rookie in the developmental ranks, will be the focus of the game. Takahiro Suzuki The previous game was a "No. 7, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5. In the previous game, he made his first appearance of the season as "No. 7 center fielder," and in his second at bat, he caught the opposing starter's Taisuke Yamaoka pitcher In his second at-bat, he caught the opposing starter breaking ball and gave up regular season his first hit hit. He also recorded RBI in the top of the 7th inning. From here on out, he will look to hit produce more of them and win a spot on the manager's roster.

Against Orix Buffaloes, I hope the players will be able to do the same, Seiya Yokoyama I have high expectations for the players. He has played in 23 farm games so far this season and has struggled with a .205 batting average. Nevertheless, they are starting to show signs of recovery, as they hit their first solo shot in the same game on the 17th, and also hit 3 hit in the previous game. First of all, he needs to regain his form and make an appeal to be promoted to the first team.
