◆ Pacific League: Nippon-Ham vs. Lotte (23rd, ES CON FIELD)

Nippon-Ham Fighters manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo took an aggressive approach from the start.

The outfield starting line-up for that day consisted of Yoshida in left field, Yazawa in center field, and Nomura in right field.

Since Yazawa was the only one whose position was in that position, manager Shinjo seemed to have his own plan, as he made a change in the defense during the second inning, switching Nomura to left field, Yoshida to center field, and Yazawa to right field. The quick change caused a stir in the stands.
