◆NAMICS Fresh All-Star Game 2026: Central League Select Team vs. Pacific League Select Team (27th, Hard Off Niigata)

Pacific League Lotte’s first-round draft pick, Genki Ishigaki pitcher (from Kenta Takasaki High School), who started in the All-Star Game, completed his outing after one inning runs.

He gave Obama a Walk leadoff, then allowed stolen base and with no outs and a runner on second, suddenly putting runner in scoring position. Ishii then flew out to center and put a runner on third with one out. Still, Oda and Sasaki easily retired the center line, ending his game with no runs.

After finishing his appearance on the mound, he said with a satisfied expression, "It went by so fast. I'm glad I was able to pitch and have fun." His fastest pitch of the day was 153 km/h on his first pitch to Sasaki. He followed up with a curveball to closer struck out to ground out to the shortstop. "I was trying to get a strikeout at the end, but he made contact," he said with a smile. "There were so many fans, and I think there are even more on the first-team stage. I'm glad I was able to experience this kind of stage, and I want to make the most of it," he said, looking ahead to his future growth.
