On June 28th, four farm team regular season will be held, hosted by Pacific League League teams.

Will Yukiya Ito impress both offensively and defensively? Orix Buffaloes developmental draft pick #3 rookie is currently on a three-game hit.

At Rakuten Eagles Mobile's Saikyo Park Miyagi, the second game between Tohoku Rakuten Eagles and Orix Buffaloes will be held starting at 12:30.

[Season Series Record] Tohoku Rakuten Eagles (2nd in the East) vs. Orix Buffaloes (1st in the West): 0 wins, 1 loss

Tohoku Rakuten Eagles is keeping an eye on Yukiya Ito. Ito had been away from competitive play for over a month since the game against Chiba Lotte Marines on May 17th, but he made his return to action on June 24th against Hayate Shizuoka. In that game, he recorded hit in the first inning. Ito is a versatile player who can play multiple positions both in defense and outfield. He will be looking to continue to impress both offensively and defensively in order to be promoted back to the first team.

On the other hand, Orix Buffaloes is placing its hopes on rookie Sota Nakanishi, their third-round developmental draft pick. So far this season, he has played in 17 games, with 8 hit in 45 At Bat-bats for a batting average of .178, which is not impressive, but he is currently on a three-game hit streak and is improving. The deadline for being registered as a regular player at the end of July is fast approaching, so the question is whether he can make the most of his limited playing time.

Takuya Hiruma is currently on a six-game hit.

At CAR3219 Field, the 9th game between Saitama Seibu Lions and Hayate Shizuoka will be held starting at 13:00.

[Season Series Record] Saitama Seibu Lions (3rd in the Middles) vs. Hayate Shizuoka (5th in the Middles): 6 wins, 2 losses

Saitama Seibu Lions Takuya Hiruma hit a ball that went straight to wall in the top of the 6th inning of the game against Hokkaido Nippon-Ham on the 17th, and was tagged out when he headfirst slid into second base. He was then removed from defense in the bottom of the inning. However, in his first appearance in four games, against Orix Buffaloes on the 24th, he hit doble, hit his hitting streak to six consecutive games. His batting average has risen to .304.

Can Hiromi Oka find signs of recovery? Leo Shibata hit the go-ahead RBI in the previous game.

At Kofudai Stadium, the 8th game between Chiba Lotte Marines and Hokkaido Nippon-Ham will be held starting at 5 PM.

[Season Series Record] Chiba Lotte Marines (3rd in the East) vs. Hokkaido Nippon-Ham (1st in the East): 3 wins, 4 losses

Chiba Lotte Marines 's focus is on Hiromi Oka. So far in the minor leagues, he has played in 21 games, going 15 hit At Bat-66 with a batting average of .227, struggling to find his form. However, he has recorded hit in 4 of his last 6 games. Can he find signs of recovery and seize the opportunity to be promoted back to the first team?

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham are keeping an eye on Leo Shibata. In the game against Hiroshima on the 24th, he started as the "number 6 DH" and delivered a game-winning hit in the late innings. As pitcher, he started in the first-team game against Fukuoka Softbank on the 21st. Although he had to leave the game in the middle of the 3rd inning due to being hit by a batted ball, he showed his strengths by allowing only 2 hit, strike out 1 runs. He will be looking to further refine both his pitching and hitting skills.

Keep an eye on Kyogo Yamashita who had doble that led to a go-ahead hit in the previous game and boasts an on-base percentage of over 40%.

At Tamahome Stadium Chikugo, the third game between Fukuoka Softbank and Oisix Niigata will be held starting at 6 PM.

[Season Series Record] Fukuoka Softbank (West 2nd place) vs. Oisix Niigata (East 4th place): 1 win, 1 loss

One player to watch for Fukuoka Softbank Hawks is Kyogo Yamashita. In the game on the 27th, he hit doble as the Walk hitter in the bottom of the 3rd inning, creating a scoring opportunity. He then scored the go-ahead run on a timely hit by Akira Nakamura. So far this season, he has 13 hit in 46 At Bat in 24 games, for a batting average of .283. His 9 walks have already matched last season's total, and his on-base percentage of .421 shows he's making an impact in his limited playing time. As he enters his fourth year, he will be looking to continue to impress in order to be added to the main roster.
