Seibu Lions 's pitcher Kosei Takahashi will start in the game against DeNA on the 29th (at Belluna Stadium).
After his last appearance on the 13th against Softbank Hawks (at Mizuho PayPay Dome), he was removed from the roster on the 19th to allow time to recover from fatigue. With about two weeks between appearances, he seemed refreshed, saying, "I'll be pitching a lot from now on, so I'm glad I was given that time."
Regarding the opponent, which is unique to interleague play, he said, "It's an opponent we only face once a year, if at all, so I think the way we play will be different. More than that, I want to see what happens when I put myself out there first."
