Orix Buffaloes Daiki Tajima pitcher has been decided to start in the game against Softbank Hawks on the 24th at Mizuho PayPay Dome. In his previous appearance against Hiroshima on the 6th (Mazda Stadium), he struggled with 5 runs over four innings, and from the following day, the 7th, he continued training in the farm team. "I have been re-examining myself from scratch and adjusting once again," he said. Although he gave up 6 runs by midway through the 8th inning in the farm league game Softbank Hawks on the 16th (at Tamasa Chikugo), he showed a clear sense of success among 112 pitches.

Replacing Soya, who prioritizes conditioning, he will start in the second game of the series. "I will focus on throwing with all my might so that I can contribute to Orix Buffaloes winning the championship," he said with determination.
