The July "Daiju Life Monthly MVP Award" was announced, and pitcher Yugo Maeda won Pacific League pitcher award. Regarding his first award, he said, "I was genuinely happy to win a title in the first team at such an early stage, and it made me realize I need to work even harder."

Yu Maeda, who has been pitching for the first team since May, appeared in four games in July, going 3-0 with no losses. ERA was a stable 0.33. On July 27th, he achieved his eighth consecutive win of the season against Seibu Lions (at Belluna Dome), becoming the first player to achieve this record within three years of graduating from high school since Tsuneo Horiuchi of The Giants in 1967 (in his second year), 59 years ago. The left-hander, who has since extended his record to 10 consecutive wins, summarized July by saying, "It has certainly boosted my confidence, and I was really able to show what I'm capable of. I think it's been a really good month." He aims to continue racking up more wins.
