Fukuoka Softbank The starter of Nao Higashihama pitcher. In his first start of the season on April 20, he pitched well, going 1 runs in 7 innings, but in his last two starts he has not pitched more than 5 innings. First of all, as a starter, I would like to make a game of it. On the batting line Tatsuru Yanagimachi Players continue to hit .308, with Home Run also giving up against Hokkaido Nippon-Ham on the 22nd.
Against Orix, Kohei Azuma pitcher started. In his last start against Saitama Seibu, he had 4 hit 2 Walk 2 runs in 5 innings. This season, he’s been hammered Avg.417 in left-handed hitter against Avg.286 in right-handed hitter. Can he shut down the Fukuoka Softbank batting lineup with good hitter left-handers in the lineup?
