A press conference was held at ES CON FIELD on the 10th, the day before the first stage of the 2025 Persol Climax Series Pacific League.
就任１年目ながら、昨季５位のチームを３位と躍進させ、指揮官としては初のポストシーズンに挑むオリックス・岸田護監督は「なんとか胸を借りるつもりで、思い切ってぶつかっていきたい」と力を込めた。
When asked who would be the starting pitcher for the first game, he chose Shumpeita Yamashita, a 161 km/h right-handed pitcher in his fifth year after graduating from high school. In his return game against Nippon-Ham Fighters on September 7th (at Kyocera Dome Osaka) after a back injury due to his developmental stage, he pitched brilliantly, allowing two runs in five innings and striking out 11 strike out. The 23-year-old has maintained a solid record of 1-0 with ERA 1.25 in four games (three starts), and he has been entrusted with his first postseason start.
チームとしては、レギュラーシーズンで日本ハムに１２勝１２敗１分け、敵地・エスコンフィールドでも６勝７敗とほぼ互角。日本ハム・新庄剛志監督が「どっちが勝っても、１戦目は『８―７』の試合で」と“先制攻撃”すると、普段はクールな指揮官も「『８―７』の試合を目指して（笑）。真っ向勝負でいきたい」と応戦し、笑いを誘っていた。
