The player to watch for Fukuoka Softbank is Ryuta Hirose. In the previous day's game, he hit a go-ahead hit in his first at-bat with two outs. In his second at-bat, he followed up a home run hitter with doble, contributing to further runs. He will be looking to contribute to the team's victory with his batting again today.

On the opposing side, Orix Buffaloes 's player to watch is Shuna Hori. In the top of the 7th inning of that game, trailing by 5 runs, he hit his first home run regular season a two-run shot.
