Softbank Hawks Hawks outfielder Ukyo Shuto achieved his 250th stolen base in the third inning, becoming the 49th player in professional baseball history to do so.

In the third inning with two outs, he got his second single of the day to left field, and then took off on the second pitch to the next hitter, Kondo, after a ball. Nippon-Ham 's catcher, Tamiya, made a good throw, but he beat him with his top-class speed, honed by four previous stolen base titles, and stole second base. If the game is considered complete after the fifth inning, it will be recorded as an official play.
