◆ Pacific League League: Lotte vs. Orix Buffaloes (October 10th, ZOZO Marine Stadium)

Orix Buffaloes ・ On the 10th, Ryo Ishikawa catcher joined the first team alongside Kaito Iriyama pitcher and Sho Gibo infielder. Now in his 13th professional season, he was first added to the active roster on May 22. Although he appeared in only two games and was removed from the roster on June 29, he is expected to be re-added to the roster to replace Shuna Hori catcher, who was removed from the roster on the 9th.

Although he has only played in 30 games since transferring Orix Buffaloes in 2023, he is a valuable asset in unseen ways, such as cheering on the bench and creating a positive atmosphere. A popular and handsome catcher who consistently ranks high in the Orix player voting, he is known as "Orix's Sun." A lively player born in 1995, the same year as the team's two ace pitchers, Wakatsuki and Moritomo, he plays a vital, behind-the-scenes role.
