In addition, batters are losing ground due to strong pitching capabilities. The Japanese pro baseball is also dominated by pitching and hitting players this year. This trend has continued over the past few years. As of Tuesday, two of the 12 teams in the Central and Pacific leagues have a batting average of below .20,000. The Yakult Swallows of the Central League recorded 0.197 in 11 games, and the Chunichi Dragons recorded 0.196 in 14 games. The Yomiuri Giants ranks first in this category with 0.264.

In the top of the first inning, leadoff hitter Yuma Mune and second hitter Ryo Otayo had consecutive hits against Rakuten right-hander Tomotaka Matsui. With runners on the first and second bases with no outs, second baseman Mune was hit by a catcher's checker at the third batter's box of Yamanaka Ryoma, and poured cold water on him. Yamanaka was then thrown out by a fly ball to the right field. With no outs and runners on the first and second bases, the chance quickly became a two-out first base.
At this juncture, Orix's hot batters exploded in succession. Keita Nakagawa, Yuma Dongu, No. 5, Jordan Diaz, No. 6, and Kotaro Gurebayashi hit four consecutive hits to score four runs. He let go of Matsui, the opponent team's starter. In his first at-bat for the Japanese pro baseball league, Diaz hit a timely double to the left field. Orix made six hits including three doubles in the first inning. Opposing Orix's batters, pitcher cannot afford to let down his guard.

Orix manager Mamoru Kishida removed the two center hitters from the starting lineup on the day. Ko Nishikawa Ryoma and Sugimoto, who have played three to four times since the opening game

He gave Taro a rest. He was strong even though the two players who were hard hitting were absent. Other players filled the vacancy so that he could not get a vote. This is a strong team.

Coach Kishida praised, "No matter what the batting order is, no matter what the situation, hitters are concentrating to do their part."

On the day, Orix hit 10 hits. Of the 13 games this season, nine were double-digit hits. He also had nine hits in the remaining four games. He ranks first overall in both team batting average and scoring goals. 안전놀이터
