Tohoku Rakuten Eagles is keeping an eye on Hideto Asamura. In his 18th season, he played in 87 games with a batting average of .217, and his monthly batting averages since June have all been in the .100s, leading to his removal from the roster on August 7th. Nevertheless, in his first game since joining the minor league team, he hit a go-ahead RBI single in his first at-bat. As the season nears its end, the question is whether he can regain his form and become a valuable asset to the first team again.

Additionally, pitcher has made 10 appearances for the second team so far this season, recording 2 wins, 0 losses, and a ERA of 1.07, demonstrating his presence both on the mound and at the plate.

As for his opponent, Chiba Lotte Marines, Yu Tatematsu we’re looking forward to seeing what he can do. In his second season, he recorded his first professional hit on August 14, but went hit in his next two games and was removed from the roster on the 19th. Still, in his first game back with the farm team, he immediately delivered a strong performance with 3 hit. Can he continue to impress and earn a call-up?
