On April 27th, Motonobu Tanishige and Tomoya Satozaki appeared on Persol Pacific League TV's official YouTube channel "Monday to Patelle". The monthly "Monthly Prize" for April has been decided.

The monthly "Monthly Pa Award" will start this month in which the two of them, who are entrusted with the end of each month, will decide the most brilliant play of the month. One player is nominated from each team, and the "Monthly Pa Grand Prize" is decided from among them.

Brilliantly, it was ...... Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Haruki Hosono pitcher selected for the monthly "Monthly Pa Awards" in April. Looking back on the pitch in which he achieved a no-hitter and no-run in the Chiba Lotte Marines game on March 31st, Mr. Satozaki praised him, saying, "The control was good." He also mentioned that it was the opening game of the home base after suffering three consecutive losses in the opening three consecutive matches against Fukuoka Softbank.

Also, although it did not win the grand prize, the names of players who were active from the other five teams were also mentioned. Tohoku Rakuten Eagles Takahisa Hayakawa pitcher made his first appearance of the season (11th, Orix Buffaloes game) and made his first win of the season with a 1 runs in 7 innings. On the 18th, Saitama Seibu Lions Takumi Kuriyama, who hit his first hit of the season as a pinch hitter, commented, "You held (the bat) short, nice batting!"
