Pacific League Nippon-Ham vs Seibu (7th, ES CON FIELD)
Seibu The only full inning appearance since the start of the season in the Manaya Nishikawa outfielder was taken off the bench for the Nippon-Ham game (ESCON) due to “discomfort in the right shoulder” on the 7th.
During the pre-game practice that day, he appeared on ground as usual and took batting practice, but instead of taking part in the defense practice that was scheduled to follow, he took all of his equipment and retreated behind the bench.
Nishikawa, in his eighth year as a pro, earned a spot in the opening starting starting line-up as the second batter and center fielder, and was promoted to leadoff hitter from the April 13 game against Nippon-Ham (ESCON). Although he was sometimes dropped in batting order due to poor performance, he remained the team’s only full inning player as the undisputed leadoff hitter, leading the team on both offense and defense.
starting line-up is as follows.
