Pacific League Orix 1-5 Rakuten (14th, Kyocera Dome)
No. 1 right wingers Rakuten and Daisuke Nakashima outfielder hit a first-pitch double to left field from first and third with two outs in the 5th inning. The score was a valuable run scored from Tajima, who had lost two games this season. I think I was able to keep my upper body in the batter’s box. After Nakajima’s first hit, the batting lineup scored 9 hit 5 runs. standings The team’s lead was now one place above the 3rd Orix team, which had won five straight games, and the game difference was now down to two.
This season, his second year, he started with the second team but was promoted to the first team on April 12th. He played a key role in outfield from the end of the interleague games in June, and since July he has often been batting first. Including this day, he has batted first in 19 consecutive games. “The manager told me I don’t have to think about batting first,” he said, but added firmly, “It’s difficult (to bat first), but since I’ve been entrusted with this role, I want to produce good results.” While ideally aiming for a strong hit to the right, Nakajima also demonstrates a light swing to the left when the situation demands, making this his ninth consecutive game hit. Nakajima cited “being able to think carefully before going up to bat and having good physical balance at the plate” as factors in his success. He will continue to lead the team with his bat.
