Nippon-Ham announced on the 7th that Keisei Tominaga (25), a shooting guard for B1 Levanga Hokkaido, will throw out the first pitch at their game first baseman on Chunichi (at Escon Stadium).

In the 2025-26 season, his first year in the B.League, Tominaga played in all 60 games as a starter in the five-man starting lineup, leading Levanga to a top-of-the-table clash until the end of the season. He averaged a league-leading 19.5 points per game among Japanese players and was selected as the Most Impressive Player (MIP) of the regular season.

Tominaga commented, "I don't have much experience with baseball, having only played it a little as a hobby when I was in elementary school. However, when I visited Escon for the first time the other day as a guest broadcaster, it was just as wonderful a stadium as I had heard, and I really felt the joy of baseball, so I'm looking forward to it."
