On July 11th, four farm team regular season will be held, hosted by Pacific League League teams.
High expectations for development rookies Daita Horomura and Hiroki Tsuneya
At Rakuten Eagles Miracle Pine Tree Stadium, the 12th game between Tohoku Rakuten Eagles and Hokkaido Nippon-Ham will be held starting at 12:00.
[Season Series Record] Tohoku Rakuten Eagles (2nd in the East) vs. Hokkaido Nippon-Ham (1st in the East): 3 wins, 7 losses, 1 draw
Tohoku Rakuten Eagles has high hopes for their first-round developmental Daita Horomura. He has appeared in 37 games so far, including as a pinch runner and as a substitute. He has 9 hit in 62 At Bat bats, for a batting average of .145, so there is still room for improvement in his hitting, but he was selected as the leadoff hitter on the 5th. He will need to improve his on-base percentage to make the most of his speed.
Hokkaido Nippon-Ham 's first-round developmental draft pick, Hiroki Tsuneya, has a batting average of .224 with 24 hit At Bat 33 games so far, along with 3 Home Run 16 RBI. He has also shown clutch hitting ability with a .323 batting average with runners in scoring position. Can he deliver a crucial hit in this game as well and prove his worth in the main roster?
Ryusei Miyazaki had a great day the previous day with 2 hit 4 RBI.
At Lotte Urawa Baseball Stadium, the sixth game between Chiba Lotte Marines and Hayate Shizuoka will be held starting at 12:00.
[Season Series Record] Chiba Lotte Marines (3rd in the East) vs. Hayate Shizuoka (5th in the Central): 3 wins, 2 losses
Chiba Lotte Marines 's Ryusei Miyazaki recorded 2 hit and 4 RBI in the previous day's game. Although he made the opening day roster for the first team this season, he has not had many opportunities to play, appearing in only 29 at-bats in 34 games, and has also failed to produce results at the plate, with only 4 hit in 28 At Bat-bats. In order to break into the competition for a regular spot, he will once again hone his skills in the farm system.
Reon Murata 's on-base percentage is .370
At CAR3219 Field, the 14th game between the Saitama Seibu Lions and the Yokohama DeNA BayStars will be held starting at 1:00 PM.
[Season Series Record] Saitama Seibu Lions (3rd in the middle) vs. Yokohama DeNA (2nd in the middle): 7 wins, 6 losses
The Saitama Seibu Lions Lions are keeping an eye on Reon Murata. This season, he has posted impressive statistics in 64 games in the minor leagues: 50 hit At Bat 8 Home Run, 24 RBI, a batting average of .275, and an on-base percentage of .370. He hasn't played in the major leagues yet, but he's hoping to continue impressing and get a chance to be promoted.
Masahiro Nishino to play in a minor league game
At Takatsuki Hagiya The Buffaloes Stadium, the 20th game between Orix Buffaloes and Hanshin Tigers will be held starting at 13:00.
[Season Series Record] Orix Buffaloes (Western 2nd place) vs. Hanshin Tigers (Western 3rd place): 8 wins, 10 losses, 1 draw
Orix Buffaloes 's Masahiro Nishino is a player to watch. The veteran recorded a career-high 7 Home Run last season, but this season he has failed to produce results, batting .182 in 29 games with the first team, and was removed from the roster on the 3rd. In the previous game, he made his regular season appearance since a first-team game on June 30th, but went hit in 2 At Bat-bats. Can he find a way to regain his place as a valuable asset to the first team in the minor leagues?
