On the 13th, Orix outfielder Ryoma Nishikawa (30) declared that he will return to full fitness for next season. He broke his right shin during a game against Softbank Hawks (Mizuho PayPay) on September 20th, and was sidelined for the rest of the season. “I will be fully fit from the start of next year,” he said, and has begun preparations to make good on his promise.

The fractured part has almost completely healed, but the left ankle he injured in July is still not fully recovered. It has been revealed that he will be undergoing specialized treatment in the near future to relieve the pain and anxiety. At the moment, the focus is on strengthening his upper body. This is a measure that will not prolong his absence, but will allow him to pick up the pace in the future.

On this day, he also completed his rehabilitation program at Maishima, Osaka. “I want to focus on hitting and fielding. I’m still working on it with the intention of playing the full game,” he said, looking ahead. This season he was 31 at-bats short of the required number, but his batting average is .310, 0.6 points higher than Pacific League leading hitter Makihara Dai (Softbank). This updated genius is scary. (Osada Toru)
