◆Farm League: Lotte 3-4 The Giants (9th, ZOZO Marine Stadium)

Lotte's first-round draft pick, Genki Ishigaki pitcher (18) = Kendai Takasaki = made his home debut game with a bittersweet mound. In the 7th inning with a two-run lead, they went to mound in second place. However, he couldn't complete the planned 1 inning, and instead of throwing 2/3 of the , he runs 1 hit 3 Walk. He cut off the leadoff pitcher Aramaki to three pitches struck out, but Asano's doble and two Walk left him in a crisis with two outs and bases loaded. Furthermore, after giving Minagawa a push-out Walk, he was taken off the pitch. "There were quite a few people in the stands, and I wasn't nervous, but I went in feeling excited and felt like I wasn't really grounded," he said, biting his lip.

This was his fourth appearance in a minor league game. He pitched a total of three inning, struggling with ERA of 15.00. Nevertheless, number 18 pitcher showed glimpses of great potential, reaching a top speed of 155 km/h. "pitch with runner on base is still a challenge. I want to be able to throw other pitches besides fastball and splitter with the same level of confidence," he said, acknowledging his shortcomings. He will continue to grow, using every experience as fuel.
