On September 11th, four Pacific League farm team regular season games will be held.

Will Tsubasa Yoshino be able to recover his form?

At Shinrindori Stadium Izumi, the 16th round match between Rakuten Eagles and Oisix Niigata will take place from 12:00.

【This season's head-to-head record】Rakuten Eagles (2nd in East) vs. Oisix Niigata (5th in East) 7 wins, 8 losses

Rakuten Eagles' second-year player Tsubasa Yoshino started 4 games in the first team from late August, but struggled with 0 hits and 8 struck out in 13 At Bat, and was removed from the roster on September 3. Since then, in the farm team, he has not recorded a hit in 2 games. Given that he had been in good form, hitting 3 Home Run in 6 farm games before his promotion, he will be looking to regain his form to earn another opportunity in the first team.

Focus on Toki Hiwatari, who joined via trade in July; Yuya Sakurai records top-tier results in the district.

At The Fighters Kamagaya Stadium, the 13th round match between Hokkaido Nippon-Ham and Chiba Lotte Marines will be held from 13:00.

【This season's head-to-head record】Hokkaido Nippon-Ham (1st in East) vs Chiba Lotte Marines (3rd in East) 6 wins, 5 losses, 1 draw

Third-year player Toki Hiwatari, who joined Hokkaido Nippon-Ham via trade on July 3, has a batting average of .167 in 15 games so far. Before the trade, he appeared in 28 games for Chunichi and recorded a batting average of .269. Although his playing opportunities are limited, will he be able to make an impact on both offense and defense from here on?

On the other hand, Chiba Lotte Marines' 4th-round draft rookie Yuya Sakurai has recorded top-tier results in the region with a batting average of .2451 (5th in East), 89 hit (2nd in East), and 40 RBI (3rd in East). He hopes to further improve his condition and make a case for a first-team promotion in the final stages of the season.

Second-year developmental player Musashi Shimizu recorded his first RBI of the season.

At Sugimotoshoji Buffaloes Stadium Maishima, the 30th game between the Orix Buffaloes and the Hanshin Tigers will be held from 13:00.

【This season's head-to-head record】Orix Buffaloes (2nd in West) vs Hanshin Tigers (3rd in West) 11 wins, 14 losses, 4 draws

Orix Buffaloes' 2nd-year developmental player Musashi Shimizu hit a timely doble in the game against Yakult on the 4th, recording his first RBI of the season. Although he has been struggling with a .147 batting average in 15 games so far, we will see how much he can continue to appeal himself in the remaining two weeks.

Yoshiyasu Sasakawa, who won the Farm Monthly MVP Award for August.

At Tamahome Stadium Chikugo, the 29th round between Fukuoka Softbank and Hiroshima will be held from 18:00.

【This season's head-to-head record】Fukuoka Softbank (1st in West) vs. Hiroshima (4th in West) 17 wins, 11 losses

Softbank Hawks' Yoshiyasu Sasakawa recorded a 17-game hitting streak in August, along with 4 Home Runs and 15 RBI, winning his first "SMBC Trust Bank Farm Monthly MVP Award" in his 6th professional year. Additionally, his current batting average of .276 and slugging percentage of .410 both rank 1st in the district. Can he maintain this momentum and continue to produce overwhelming results with his batting in September?
