Among the breakout players this season, Isami Nomura player has a .283 batting average, which is a good number. The 10th-year professional Akira Kawase player hit his first professional Home Run winning arch from Hiromi Ito pitcher on May 20. However, the Tatsuru Yanagimachi player, who was competing with Dai Makihara for the top hitter spot, surprisingly struggled with a .187 batting average in the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham game.

Kensuke Kondo player is expected to miss the final stage due to injury. Nevertheless, they have been winning Fukuoka Softbank the regular season as well, filling in the holes of players who have left the team. Let’s hope that each player will be able to show what they have in PERSOL CS Pa.

8. Starting with 10 strike out Kenta Uehara pitcher in one inning, Seigi Tanaka pitcher and Yukiya Saito pitcher recorded ERA 0.00. He is a reliable presence when it comes to competing for one point in the final stage.

In addition, rookie Leo Shibata made his second professional appearance on August 23 against Fukuoka Softbank. He took the mound in second place from the 6th inning with a 3-run lead. After taking the double play and finishing the first inning with three people, the next inning was a three-way retirement. In the 8th inning, which was the third inning, he made his first professional runs with three consecutive hits from two outs. Still, 2.2 innings, 37 pitches, 4 hit 1 runs. It made me feel the potential of the No. 1 draft player to challenge the dual wielding.

Rookie fights hard against the champion!Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters’ main batters’ performance against Fukuoka Softbank ©PLM

Despite being a rookie, Shu Yamagata fought hard against the league champions, batting .276 against them. In particular, in the game on September 9th, he hit home runs in two consecutive at-bats against pitcher Moinelo, who the team had been unable to break down up until that point.

Looking at the results at MIZUHO PayPay Dome, Yua Tamiya had a batting average of .313 (5 At Bat 16 at hit) and 1 Home Run. Torai Fushimi also had a batting average of .308 (4 hit At Bat-bats). Chusei Mannami has hit 4 Home Run against Fukuoka Softbank this season, 2 of which were hit on the road.

Kengo Yoshida, who played for Fukuoka Softbank until last season, hit his first home run against his former team early in the season. Yuma Imagawa also contributed to the team’s attack against pitcher Moinelo with three hit three RBI on September 9th.

If there’s one thing that concerns me, it’s that Home Run king Reyes only managed three Home Run against Fukuoka Softbank Hawks. He didn’t get much out of the game at MIZUHO PayPay Dome either, batting .088 with Home Run. The final stage will be held on enemy territory, but will he be able to show off his batting skills to overcome the poor matchup?
